I lose Allen wrenches all the time because they fall out of the plastic holder.

One of the screws came out of the faceplate on my 3/8ths Kobalt ratchet. My coworker uses the same ratchet and both screws came out of the faceplate. When I get around to it I’ll see if Lowe’s can give me a replacement screw or a new ratchet then I’ll loctite them in.
