Bill,
How bulky are these jobbers. Can they be fit into the same tight
access places a socket fits into? What about a bolt that's right up
against a casting or whatever where there's only enough clearance for
the thickness of a socket?
These sound like they might be handy wrenches to have around for those
once in a while special needs.
