Yeah. I think part of the problem there is also low-quality fasteners, but good hex wrenches do prevent a lot of problems.

As I go through my stash of direct-from-the-Shenzhen-market-at-10x-the-price fasteners from Amazon I'm replacing them with equivalents from McMaster. I have to say the increase in quality is noticeable. I half expect to break an Amazon screw and find that it's hollow inside to save a few cents.
