5/32 allen wrench.if you torque the studs to woody's specs you shouldn't need to retighten your studs think it 100 - 114 inch pounds.

Been using the 5/32, but the problem is that the sides get rounded and I have to use another one. What do all you folks use? I was thinking a t-handled one? I am open for suggestions.

I see what your saying. Cut till it's all gone. Gonna take a while that way though. Would rather have a toll that lasts for the job.

that's what i did-- when the end got rounded cut the allen wrench back, and i used an electric impact gun to wind the nuts on

I just put in 20 and I found a tool to make it a T. Doesn't slip at all. I will cut them if I have too though. Only 76 more to put in, I use a ratchet. Doesn't bother me that much.

if you have a 14.4 or a 18 volt cordless drill with a clutch on it work a hell of alot better and faster then using a ratchet

The quality varies on the wrenches. If it keeps rounding off it may be a low quality soft one. Purchase a good name brand wrench.
