Try using a hack saw blade or the metal from inside a windshield wiper. Street cleaner bristles are also popular. Good Luck.

the allen wrench that you show actually has been made into tension levers, by many on this site, however, it cannot be cut with a file, you must use a grinder, if you dont have one, perhaps someone you know has one and you can use it.

Thanks a lot for the allen wrench i don't want to cut it i have the perfect size just to flat it a little bit in the end but i cant.


I think the hacksaw blade is good for tension wrench (hope its hard enough) but how to cut it to any other tools without buying some mechanics.

Again thanks a lot for all the suggestions i will read the topic you gave me hope find something useful.

I always found that the cheap allan wrenches bought from Wal-Mart is easier to file. Of course I use a big file they sell at Sears to do this and not with my key impressioning files. But even then it can be a bit time consuming.
