Agreed.  I got some as a gift from my father-in-law.  They saved me
lots of time removing the downpipe from the exhaust manifold on my
Spridget.  I wouldn't want them as an only wrench set[1], but in
certain situations they are very very handy.

[1] If I could only have one dream wrench set it would be 6 points
with some kind of ``grabs the edges not the corners'' shape, long
handles, polished finish and 4-sided open ends (not U shaped).  I
don't think anyone makes one wrench with all those features.
