and not all allen wrenches are equal ! they do wear. use a high quality brand new allen key (Bondhus, Pedros, Silca or Wera). They fit better than the ones you buy at home depot from a bin for $0.15

In situations like this, it does matter. A cheap tool will round out the fastener and cause you lots of wasted time !
