My new tool

My new tool











It is made from 4340 CrMo, 7/8 X 12 X 3

It is going to heat treat next week to bring the hardness up. I am thinking 52 rockwell, hard but not brittle. Anyone have any input on what other allen wrenches are hardness wise? This is for my kingpins and I do not want it to shatter when I hit it with a sledge.

Here are a few pics of the shop at work where I made it (with the help of some MRs)
