    I found Another Queen City Grinder Today!

    How often do you hit a spot where only a single tool would work and what was it?

    My neighbor's 2015 Escape's RF wheel nuts were buggered up during a road service call. I tried all my 6pt and 12pt sockets without luck. I ordered these guys from AZ. They got the job done.
