I liked franklima260 "Handle for 2.5 mm Allen Key / Hex Key," but I didn't want to permanently lock in the Allen key. So I tweaked the slot so that the key can lock in place when in use, but is easily removed if necessary. This has the added benefit of not requiring a zip tie.

Printer Brand:
RepRap
Printer:
Folgertech 2020 Prusia i3
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
.2mm
Infill:
50%
Notes:
I used cura line supports at 25% density "touching everwhere" to support the overhang in the slot; These supports were easily removed with a thin craft knife. The 50% infill is probably overkill, but creates a nice, solid tool.
Custom Section
To use, slot the hex key in, turn it to the side and then push up, to seat it in the tip of the J-shaped slot. When using the screwdriver, the downward force keeps the key slotted in place, but the hex key can easily be removed otherwise.
