A buddy at work gave me an old Williams Superrench 1/2" combo. His dad worked at Williams for years when they had a plant in Buffalo, NY. I gave it a 'place of honor' in my SAE drawer. As I looked at the tools in that drawer, I realized than almost none of them had been used. It looks like the RP 1/2" wrench had a little rust/grease in the box end. I've had some of these for years - I think most came as part of a set. Their metric counterparts are well used. VW/Honda cars, BMW/Guzzi cycles. Made me laugh. Wish I had more Superrenches.

That same friend gave me a Superratchet. It made me wonder how many ratchets I own. I rounded up as many as I could think of in a short period of time. The USA stuff is on the right. I like 'em all. The CMAN thin profile 3/8 has the most use followed by the trusty Proto 4749. I have beat on the Stanley 1/2" and it just laughs it off.
As I look at this picture I realize that I could use a few more 1/2".

At least you've got it covered in case you tear into a B&S mower or something else SAE.
Ah - I did use one of those offsets to pull the spark plug on my chainsaw this spring! 
. I do have a B&S lawn tractor but it is fairly new. I don't even need a tool to change the oil on it. What is wrong with these manufacturers - I WANT to use tools.

never seen a superwrench with my own eyes, Supercombos are the best though. Wouldn't trade them for anything! I agree, It is funny how obsolete SAE tools seem to be these days. and I work on "american" semi trucks
I have one supercombo. It is a 19mm and it is very stout. I bought it to 'complete' a CMAN pro set (the old SK kind) - the supercombo is awesome but doesn't match the SK at all. The supercombo is great in the hand. Superrench is thin. Like the SK or a RP without the RP, if you know what I mean.

Well, since no one else has answered what I assumed to be a question. The bottom 10 drawers in my HF roller hardly ever get opened

The bottom drawer of my Craftsman rollaway holds electrical boxes and fittings. Don't have any tools to go in there, and needed the storage space.
A sampling of different vintages of Williams wrenches:
About a third of my wrenches larger than 1-1/4" are old Williams Superrenches.
For "least used" drawer, I guess I'll be in the minority. Hands down, it's the metric drawers. In fact, they're so "least used" they're not even in my main tool cabinet anymore, and haven't been for years. The last time I used a metric wrench was last January (it happens so seldom, it's easy to remember).
I work mainly on US-made heavy equipment and machinery, and older US-made trucks, where there's not a metric fastener to be found. Even our 2010 low-boy trailer is all SAE and nothing metric.

I was going to say my silk boxers, but SlowPoke-Canada kind of beat me to it.
