You suck!

I have almost never needed one, though I have several.

when you need one of those you REALLY need it.

I use mine  one or three times a year, and it's worth having them.

Nice set!!

Truth.

When you need a box wrench, and all you have is an open end, you can fudge it
When you need a open end, and alll you have is an adjustable , you can fudge it
When you meed a crowsfoor, and you don't have one, you might as well bang your head on the wall.

I always look for them at flea's, I find them occasionally floating around in the bottoms of tool boxes, and when they are a decent maker (Sk, bunney, snappy) a snatch them up, I have most of a set now, tho, it's a bit pecular...

And, no, the chinese ones do NOT work ;P
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I have 2 sets of Snappy flare's in ASE and metric.I think I have only used 1-2 sizes of each.You don't need them very often,but they are handy.
