I find this to happen quite frequently, and I have attributed it to off-spec dimensions on either bolt or wrench, or perhaps, hypothesis #2, to cheap bolt metal, which deforms and "catches" the allen.
What do others think of these hypotheses? Aside: I have a bar clamp holding my K-lite headlamp. It has 4 mm allens behind and for'ard. A Bondhus ball-tip allen just spins, while a straight sided allen does its work -- indicating a hollow between bottom and top of socket. Why?
