Good but why not include an allen key

Good but why not include an allen key
I like this product, but you absolutely need a 6mm Allen key with a long side. I'm not even sure most bike stores would have that, because many nice Allen key sets have a round head on the long side and I don't think you can get enough torque with that one.On Chinese wholesale sites you can get 100 Allen keys for a few dollars, why not just include one? IKEA can do that and they are doing ok for themselves.Oh, and you also need a small piece of pipe or a wrench because otherwise you won't be able to exert enough torque on the Allen key long side.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome sunlite extension!
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018
Update: I finally have had a chance of riding my bike with the sunlite extension quill, and I love it. There was one time I was coming home from church and for some reason could not steer, so I walked my bike home, this is not an issue with the product, It was my fault that I didn’t tighten the bolt down enough. Thankfully I figured out it wasn’t the extension that was the issue, but I did make sure that bolt was tight, it was the bolt of my quill stem that goes into the extension that was loose so I tightened that up and then the steering was back to normal or excellent. I’ve otherwise had no problems with the extension, it’s awesome and really makes a difference in my riding making it more enjoyable than ever before!

This extension is awesome! This just made riding my bike a lot more fun and much more comfortable. I like how high up it is. It feels great, plus it’s an affordable option. At first I got 25.4 mm (1 inch) and thought it was too big, accept it was the correct size
and I canceled the order before it could be sent,so then I got the smaller 22.2 mm (0.874 inch(s) size and since it was smaller I just had to shim down the hole so that was a mistake the 25.4 diameter was the correct one and the 22.2 was the wrong one. Aside from that installation was easy. Then I put my extender quill stem in bolt the wedge down then put my quill and handlebar in bolted the quill down and it was that simple. I did have to replace my brake and Derailleur cables, and housing. Kind of a pain because if someone wants to do this but knows that the cables have to be replaced they might think it’s too expensive. I didn’t do this immediately, I gave myself some time to think about this, eventually I came to the conclusion that it was in my own best interest to do this upgrade. Besides I did this for a client, and my client was super pleased with the longer quill. The only differences between my clients bike and mine is that the quill I ordered him was all one piece and 10 inches long. Where as I had ordered this extension and a new quill stem plus a 5 inch rise handlebar to replace the factory flat handlebar and stem quill on my aluminum 21 Speed Huffy, the brand of which I never heard of, probably some cheap generic knock off. Anyways after I shimmed the hole, I did have to tighten the Allen wrench bolt so the wedge bolt would stay in place and that seemed to work. I will update this after I have ridden on my bike with this sunlite extension.

Exactly what my wife looked for, only one point, when you install it, the extender should be fully inserted otherwise it's not secure.
