    Kwik Tite Wrench

    Ordered a set of the Kwik Tite wrenches last week. This week received a Sears Tool catalog. There they were on page 82 at a cheaper price.

    I left the military and got no parting gifts. I am assuming you mean "acquired" that you stole from your workplace. If you did why would you announce it as if you were proud of stealing. I just don't understnad some people's thought process.

    Well got my set of Kwik Tite wrenches and made a video.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyNvPpzXJm0




    As previously stated Sears carries the 7 piece wrench set 195-7STDS sizes 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 11/16", and 3/4" wrenches in a pouch.

    There is also a 11 piece set 195-11STDS 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 11/16", 3/4", 13/16", 7/8", 15/16" and 1" wrenches in a pouch.

    Also there is a 5/16" and sizes above 1" up to 2-1/4"

    They are not awkward to use. Flare nut wrenches work well if you have the space to use them. If the space is tight these are better. Used them many years ago in the Air Force. It wasn't until recently that I found them on the web.

    I need a good set of Imperial swags too. And one of those really cool flaring sets that looks like a big can opener,

    Though I don't have one believe you are talking about the eccentric cone flaring tool. Heard they make exceptional flares.

    Sounds like you were starting a letter to Santa there, we should make up a wish list on this site and then when someone wants to give us a gift, they could choose something from that wish list, or some rich benefactor could just supply everything on that list for us, I know I will wake up soon and realise that I was only dreaming.

    I've been looking for a small set of wrenches to throw in the Veto. These appear to be more versatile than regular combination wrenches. Are they suitable for general wrenching duties or should they only be used on line fittings? How much torque can they handle?
