With a die grinder or hacksaw or the teeth of your Alsatian cut off the 1/4-20 and 10-24 sizes Hex drivers from your Hex Keys to make a straight part.
Then the next time you need to remove/replace a woofer or horn chuck one in your cordless and away ya' go!

How I used to hate turning and turning and turning........

I spent 20 minutes Sunday before mounting those four woofers looking for the hex key I had cut down the last time I had to mount woofers.

So I went into the stash and found out I was down to my last key in that size so rather than cut it, I used it as-is.

I think the right-angle thing has something to do with findability. Sort of like cutting the hair of Sampson, they get invisible without it.

...I learned time, once lost, is never repaid. So, I took the time to organise:

That, plus the ubiquitous fishing tackle box.

That's beautiful! Cleaner and better organized than my house, much less my garage.

If you look hard, they do make hexkey powerdrill/srewdriver bits. Mine came as part of a set for $10.

If you prefer to do it by hand, I like the hexkeys that come in "swiss-army knife" style. The Stanley sets I have unfolds each key to 270 degrees, where it lock at right angle to the handle.
