note;- it only works on 1.5 to 3 mm allen keys . 

items require ;-

2.double sided mini drill brass chunk (i post snaps ,plz watch .)it is easily available at ebay.in ,cost is from 200 rs to 300rs only  depends on seller you search .

i just use baby vice to bend it but unfortunately ,allen key  was get broken from the the angle ,and then i got two pieces one is small one and another is long one,  i use the long one in chunk and rest small one is still kept as spare .u can use iron  chisel and hammer for broke it from angle to get it in "I" shape  ,after u break ,use long part as ur hex driver and short for spare one . :thumbsup:

im planning to buy an allen key set for my quad. on amazon website they have 'imperial' and 'metric' allen key. in the reviews, many people said that they bought without knowing the difference and in the end they ended up having to buy both kinds. i wanna know which kind is used in quad screws. thank you

Dont buy from amazon ,just you have to go in your local market ,and ask for tapariya allen key set or u buy loose (not in set) of  only 1.5 to 4 mm ,than also it is very sufficient for quad works .so for allen key ,i would suggest u to get tapariya one only and from local market . :thumbsup:
