Bondhause T Allens. best thing you can buy! any good hardware will carry them and i think home depot carrys them too
 
I use a set of Gray Tools titanium nitrite coated hex wrenches.They're 3 or 4 yrs old and still show no signs of rounding.I also have this ratchetting screw driver from Snap-On with an extended shank http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item...group_ID=13204&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog .The fact that it ratchets makes working on these 1/5 scales a breeze and replacement bits are dirt cheap.Buying Chinese made tools (junk) only ends up costing you more in the end.Do yourself a favor and buy quality domestic made tools.Lastly,avoid using ball end hexes when possible,they make less surface contact and have a greater propensity to strip out the screw head.

yes if you round out or break the craftsman they ll replace it.
if you cut it off they wont *(unless you find the chick working hardware. she likely will do it. lol) only thing Sears typically don't cover is fire and water damage. or abuse, ie useing a 1/2 wratchet for a hammer occasionally (everytime your working on poop and don't have a BFH handy. lol)

Have you been watching me work in my garage?:blush:

Gotta say, it doesn't make much of a difference where the BFH is if I have the wrench in my hand I ain't walking to get a hammer. :lol:
 
What about when they round off?

That means there bust! They will replace them. A friend of mine had a 3/8 ratchet that his dad give him and it was about 40 years old,the ratchet went inside it and next time the Snap-on bloke came around he told him of this just as a passing comment not meaning anything about it but of the quality of a forty odd year old tool. But the bloke took it off him ,went into his wagon and replaced the guts for free!
Now thats quality!!!!:)
