The one furnished by S&W is too soft and flexes. I used my Eklind heat treated Allen wrench, and it was stiff enough to get the job done. Add VC-3 vibration blocker on the thread, and all is good. No problems after thousands of rounds.

Taking my wife's gun down was hard, impossible with the supplied Allen.
Went down to the garage and got a good Allen and even that would not budge the screw. Got a 10'' crescent wrench and put that on the Allen. That finely got it to move. I see they call for 40 inch pounds of force, that screw must have been set to 40 foot pounds. Put it back together just by "feel" and so far (300 rounds) it has not loosened up!
