Nightmare dismantling bed - please help!

[lostanduseless]

It's a stupid thing with built-in shelves ds never even liked now we want rid but I can't do it.

How do I get these things out - there are hundreds of them!

Oh I had this argument with DH last week.

I used an allen key, which apparently - even though it worked - was "wrong" and I should have used the hexabit thingy bob end bit of the electric screwdriver instead.

You need the right size Allen key. They'll just unscrew then.

Oh I thought it was allen keys but none will fit - aaarrrgghhh

The hex a bit thingy bob is the same as an Allen key.
Look in the back of the bit drawer, that's where I throw things like that when I make the furniture.

The hex a bit thingy bob is the same as an Allen key.

Not according to my DH. Despite them looking identical and you know, doing the same thing.
