There are different types of wrenches, one of which is the Allen wrench. The Allen key, which is L-shaped, has a hexagonal cross section. It has been said that the name Allen is derived from the name of an American company in 1910, which is actually used for Allen screws that look like a hexagonal nut. The Allen wrench has a more modern shape compared to the old wrenches and is used to open and close the Allen screws that are used in many household appliances, cars and some electrical appliances. Allen screws also have a geometric and hexagonal shape, like the cross section of a wrench, which can be easily moved by sticking an Allen wrench in the screw. Allen wrenches are often used for hex screws. Although the allen wrench can be used for various purposes, its most important use is often for repairing cars and industrial devices.
One of its other uses is the repair of household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, microwave ovens, and the like. Screws are used in such appliances, which require an Allen key to open and close them. Thus, most repairmen carry a complete set of allen wrenches with them at all times. It should be mentioned that the best and highest quality allen wrench is made of steel and includes longer handles. Although many sizes are included in the cover of this type of wrenches, each of its sizes is ready and used for repairing tools. In general, it is better to choose wrenches that are made of metal and chrome vanadium is used in their construction. Plating with chrome on the metal surface of the wrench prevents rusting or any possible impact. Also, when buying a wrench, pay attention that there are no cracks or damage on the wrench.

Allen wrenches and screws have many advantages in comparison with old patch and wrenches, which can be pointed out as not changing the shape of the screw when opening and closing it using an Allen wrench. In addition to that, one of the other advantages of Allen products is that due to the hexagonal top of the screw and wrench, it is not possible for the wrench to slip or slide on it, and it can be easily moved by sticking the wrench inside the screw hole. Also, since the contact point between the wrench and the screw inside the cavity is screwed, it is very easy and convenient to work with it.

It should be noted that both ends of the wrench can be used to open and close or move the screws.
