well even if you're using allen sockets, if a bolt want to strip, it
will no matter what. It's true that you have
better chance of stripping a bolt when using regular L shaped allen. I
really think that allen bolts seems to
strip a lot more and easilly than just regular hex bolts. I really hate
them for that. All the trouble you have
after one strip trying to get it out, and thats when you have the space to
reach the bolt.
