I got one of them around 30 years ago.
Use it for work, it's ok for some jobs but is a bit bulky to get in to tight places!

You could get away with just an adjustable wrench. If you have a socket wrench, I've used the Gator Grip (Endeavor Tools) for a lot of tasks in the past. Of course, nothing can beat the actual tools, and wrenches get in tighter spots.

Interesting tool. How do they get 16 socket sizes? It looks like it would be 8.

Ha,ha, looks to me like to get 16 sizes you would buy 2...lol...
I did see them at Big K Mart, but I thought they were 2 different ones, one metric and 1 SAE, not sure though... They weren't with the Craftsman tools so I suspect they were also B&Ds or something else...
Have a good one...Tater...

I'm a tool nut, but after B&D's motorized tape-measure, their 'innovations' seem like a joke to me. And rounding a metric size to the nearest standard, just to claim 8 more sizes, doesn't seem like something that'd make me too happy to round a bolt off on the road. Not much more room for a full set of sockets and a ratchet. I've actually only been carrying an adjustable wrench and another, made by Crescent, called the Rapidwrench, that is adjustable, but orients over the bolt, like a socket, for hard to reach places.
