What the thread found

• Storing the Allen wrench on the dock is practical since the sled must be docked to adjust the arm anyway
• Some operators attach the Allen wrench to the vest spar exterior using velcro or clips for quick access during operation
• A battery-powered screwdriver with hex drive attachment can be used for large weight adjustments and spring relaxation
• High torque hex L-keys provide better grip than standard Allen keys, particularly in smaller sizes and when fasteners have threadlocker applied

Depends on

• The practicality of carrying an Allen wrench on the vest versus keeping it on the dock remained debated with no consensus reached
• Suggestions about T-handle Allen wrenches may be less suitable for vest-mounted storage compared to standard L-keys
• The discussion focused on 3A arms, which require docking for adjustments, limiting the relevance of some solutions to other arm models
