I was taking a bunch of tool holders out of service the other day,
and I couldn't get the set screw out of one in order to push the tool
out. It felt like the set screw was rounded out, but the set screw
looks ok, and a long handle hex key seemed to feel ok in the hole.

This morning after firing up the shop and getting jobs cutting I
took a look at it, and the set screw is cracked right down the side.
When I try to turn the screw the crack widens up and the wrench pops
around inside the hole. Its not a big deal I guess. These tool
holders only sell for around $50 used, but hey. $50 is $50.

Any suggestions. I have considered trying to tap in an oversized
hex key, but its right there. I have a drawer full but I haven't
found that one that feels like it almost wants to fit.

Is the other end mushroomed?
