Thank you for your reply neophyte! Having multiple adjustable wrenches makes sense. I am familiar with the traditional type like Craftsman sells with the adjustable wheel. As I look at more tools I see other types such as Wera's self-setting wrenches. Can you make a recommendation for...

Thank you for the reply Dave455! I am in Idaho. I am starting to get the feeling I need to find another brand of ratchets to go with. Can you make a recommendation? Also, do you buy your sockets from the same manufacturer as your ratchets? I am only familiar with cheap socket sets and am lost...

Thanks for the reply CHI_Tool&Die! I am in Idaho, not the EU. Most of my woodworking machinery and tools come from Austria, Germany and Italy. I am looking to build out a mechanics tool chest with similar quality tools. I have limited knowledge of Wera tools, but have enjoyed those that I have...
