I was doing an inventory of my tools in preparation for Moab (never too early to get ready). The tools I use a lot now are my Gear Wrenches and they have come to replace many other wrenches and sockets that I used to carry. They are great tools and Sears has a small set on sale for about $40. I bought my first set for use at work (acft mech) and shortly bought another for home. Try em, you'll like em! :D

Ya, I bought a set of those a few weeks ago. I've been very happy with them, makes some chores so much easier.

I just wish they made all the sizes. I like 'em too though.

If you can find a MAC tool salesman or some of the small parts stores sell Blackhawk wrenches I have acouple sets of them and they come in a good size range. They are by far the best investment in tools except for my 3lb brass hamer for 6$

They work great for me also, except when you really put some torque on them. Mine tend to stick & I have to back them off on a tightened bolt for them to ratchet again. Snug up with the gears & torque down with a normal end wrench.

I got a set of those recently too. I hope they add bigger ones to the line up. I have found they are indespensable on things like side poet battery gook ups, fand and jsut about all bolts on the front of the engine where space is a premium. I recently saw a bigger set at Lowes made by Kobalt I think.
