Stubborn Allen Screws


 

Dear Colleagues,

I need some help and or tips on how to remove frozen Allen
set-screws like the ones found on equipment knobs.

The typical scenario happens when trying to remove a stubborn
set screw. The Allen wrench "slips" and rounds the insertion pattern
slightly. Has anyone heard of a slightly oversized set of Allen
wrenches (on the order of .001" - .002") or is this the wrong
approach? If they exist, who supplies them?

Any comments and/or suggestions are welcome.

Regards,
