You're screwed. ;)

Actually, it's times like these I see the need for something like this.

Take one of the Allen wrenches included and hack off one end to fit in your cordless drill (preferably with a clutch so you don't round out the wrench or the head of the bolts). Hands saved.

I build booths for shows, like the auto show, we often get IKEA stuff to use and then give it away after because the client doesn't want to ship it. A good drill with a clutch set to soft will be great for IKEA stuff. I have every bit for all torx, Allen, Roberts.... you name it. Always good to have the kit with every bit in the world.

I am always more worried about the cheap wood just stripping out. We get this crap for shows i work on and then they get rid of in once its done. But yeah, the metal they use is shit too, I use the 12v drill with the clutch, if they actually use a metal insert I give it a love tap with the 12v impact.
