Gear Wrench Quadbox wrenches were sold a couple of Christmases ago for $10 a pair at the local NAPA store. Sears wants $30 for the pair even now. YOu got your choice ofmetric or american and the metric had an 8/10 and 12/13 on one wrench and a 15/16 and 17/19 on the other. I Like em because they will hold a nut, unlike the individual wrench where the nut will slide through. I don't like their rigid straight on heads, but for $10? I bought a 10 mm flex head for the Subaru valve covers(indispensable tool for that, especially the driver's side), but now I see they have a flex head that locks in place at various angles. Gotta keep us spending our money each year doncha know!!
