Actually, that 7/32" Allen wrench is one of my useful tools.

I bought it with a big plastic handle like a screwdriver.

I discovered that when I was trying to remove those damned square spinet 
grommets, I could turn around the 7/32" socket wrench tip so the drive end 
would just fit over the square rubber grommet, and I could turn it around 
with the Allen key instead of my bruised and scratched fingers.

But what I like best about it is that it will tap in hinge pins without 
slipping off and gouging the case. Any time I need a small punch for 
something, I put the end of the Allen wrench against it, and whack the 
other (plastic) end with my tuning "hammer."
