Small allen keys are useful for altering the height of strat/tele/jazzmaster/jaguar saddles, and jazzmaster/jaguar/mustang/jagstang bridge posts, and mustang/jagstang vibrato arm securing screw. I've got tiny allen keys galore in my cases and gig bags, and those of you with the above guitars who don't ever think about them should consider investing in a couple of the appropriately sized ones for your bridges too, they're cheap as hell and you'll be soooo glad you have 'em handy when your guitar eventually drifts out of set-up and you need to give it a little fine-tune, instead of tearing the house apart looking for tiny allen keys and being distracted by old comic annuals and action figures you unearth.

I don't understand the allen key one. Surely that's only for truss rod adjustments. I could understand it for a tour but not for a gig. I'm probably missing something here though.
If you played Fender guitars you would understand. Bridge adjustment.

I'm constantly having to readjust the bridge saddle height on the low E string on my Jag. Small Allen key required. I should just loctite it but I keep forgetting to do so.

Jesus, "transparency"? Are you freakin' kidding me?

Just throw the damn emote on the page, bend it 90 degrees, hold your freakin' thumb on top of it, and tighten things up!

So what if the background isn't transparent? It's not the end of the world, K? Man up already, and stop complaining about transparency!

Their purpose is a form of IQ test for those that play them. If you can't figure out the tuners, you're SOL.
