Note that if the Allen key is turning but not grabbing and you think that your socket is rounded or stripped, maybe it is not. Maybe you are using a metric Allen key, instead of an imperial one (or vice versa). As you know, Allen keys (like many other tools) come in sets. I grabbed the set that came with my tool set, found the largest key that can fit in the socket and tried turning. It was turning but not grabbing. I thought that the socket was rounded. Later on, I realized that there is another set of Allen keys in my tool set. Again, I found the largest key that can fit in the socket and tried turning. This time it worked like a charm. Turns out, the first key that I tried was from a metric set, where the key was 3 millimetres. The second key that I tried was from an imperial set, which was 1/8 inches (which is 3.175 millimetres). As you can observe, these are "almost" the same size, but being "almost" the same size is not enough. That additional 0.175 mm that is brought by the 1/8 inch Allen key was what was necessary for the key to properly fit the socket.

EXACTLY IT IS METRIC AND HE IS MOST LIKELY USING SAE ALLEN SET

THANKS for posting. A lot of hex size quotes on you tube. My hex size that fixed mine was 3/32. Very tight now. And why didn't he shut the drain or at least put a knapkin on it when he mentioned it ? Also why waste water when he could turn the valves off ?

You could try red threadlocker. If that doesn't work, call moen, they have lifetime warranty.

@@JCTFIXIT Yes, exactly. This is the case, when 1 simple reply was more useful than 10 different videos. For me was always clear how to tighten the handle, it just never held more than a month. And I totally forgot about thread locker. Using the advise, i applied the ORANGE thread locker (mid between red and blue), and the problem was resolved for already half a year. THANK YOU very much.

What should I do if it won't tighten? No matter how much I try to tighten it the handle is still very loose.

You could potentially get a precision flathead screwdriver in there to bite the edges, but it's hard to say without being there.

@@JCTFIXIT ..I got the handle off and found a tiny regular-head screw jammed in there. Where’d that come from? I managed to get that out and tightened the handle back on with a 5/64 Allen wrench...nice and tight. But it’s still got play in it! Any ideas? Thanks much!

Check to see if there is play in the post without the handle on. If there is, you may need a new assembly. If there is not, then you may need a longer set screw.
