You don’t need to be a DIY expert to assemble furniture, as most big-box stores, such as IKEA, Wayfair, and Amazon, provide instructions, hardware, and the necessary tools. I find that the included Allen wrench is typically small and doesn’t provide much leverage when trying to tighten things up. A folding Allen wrench gives you more leverage with its larger handle, and you get the bonus of varying sizes. Although the folding Allen wrench is helpful, it still requires time to turn and tighten screws manually. IKEA furniture is typically made of particleboard, which can easily split if a screw is driven into it too fast or too deeply.
