No it’s a combination between shitty L-shaped wrenches and shitty fasteners like OP is dealing with. Like a lever, you need to keep the wrench seated in the hex hole so it takes some downward force. But the shape of those L-wrenches, the downward force on the handle can make the torque go in a strange direction and isn’t exactly optimal when the fastener is tight.

I’m not saying that it’s impossible to use, but it isn’t the best design for a tool (which is why most people who use them often have T-handles or driver bits or ratchet bits). With the T-handle, it is much easier to maintain the downward force while twisting.

Not trying to start some controversial thing here, just stating that L-Shaped wrenches are more difficult to use, especially the trash ones that come with flat pack furniture.
