Nifty Little Tool

Posted on September 9, 2008 17:45 by Billy

 

Recently I got a new yardsale bike.  The yardsale also had lots of tools and general junk.  The couple that were hosting the sale had married within the last 5 years or so.  The wife told me that they were trying to consolidate their things and thus, the yardsale.  Anyway...there were lots of tools and I'm kind of a sucker for tools.  Well I found two of these: 

 

They are wrenches that have 10 different wrench sizes.  They are also extremely small and light.  I saw two so I bought two.  They work and are kind of handy.  The only problem I have is that the sizes on each of the ends are pretty much useless.  If a nut is tight then how could you use this to loosen the nut without some sort of bar for leverage?  

It doesn't matter, I always carry an adjustable wrench with me anyway and it works well.  This evening, I was lowering the seat on my yardsale bike and one of the wrenches broke!  Oh well, that's probably why I've never seen one of these for sale in a store. ;-)
