Mundane Challenge #12 - the Hex Key

March 17th, 2013

As the winner of the mundane-toothpick challenge, it is my honor to host this week's mundane challenge!

The mundane theme was started by Aaron @grizzlysghost for those of us who may have lost inspiration. He suggested we take an ordinary, boring object and start shooting it. Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary!

This week's mundane star is the hex key or Allen wrench. Just a bit more commentary:
I did read up on these at Wikipedia and evidently "Allen Wrench" is a trademarked product and there is a request not to genericize by calling ALL hex keys "Allen wrenches". Leave it to me to step into controversy trying to find a mundane subject! ;->

The only rule: there can be no question that the hex key is the star of your photo!

Tag your shots mundane-hexkey and don't forget to share your entries on this thread! You have until Sunday the 24th to enter.

On Monday, Mar 25th, I'll choose my top five for your voting pleasure, and the winner gets the honor of hosting Mundane Challenge #13.

Just a quick example of how boring this one may be:



Have fun, friends. . .and MANY thanks all over again for your kindness to my toothpicks.

Just like they will always be known as Q-Tips, Kleenex, and Jell-O, this will always be known as an Allen wrench :) Great idea, Lyn.

@spirrowshoot I agree with you completely - I have certainly never before called one a "hex key"!!
March 18th, 2013
@lyno @spirrowshoot we call them Allen Keys.

@judis so creative!

Because of this challenge I discovered they are also called hex keys - who knew (well not me).
For years I've always called them allen wrenches - that is also correct - I guess they have more than one name

Unlocking the dilemma of "which came first, the chicken or the egg".
