While cleaning up in the shop the other day this wrench surfaced again, the thought that came to mind is do people see one wrench or do they see 23?

So what do you see and why?

Now, THAT is cool tool!
There's 12 Imperial sizes but, it looks like it is able to snug up to almost any sized metric nut or bolt head.

I see only ten but it is still neat. A good thing to have in the traveling tool box (RV style).

I'm on a Kindle with a small screen. 10 May be right. Eyesight not what it used to be.

I see ten this side - what does the other side look like?

I will wait after the back side is exposed before 'voting'. From the choices, there likely be 13 on the back.

I got this at a tractor supply like place a while back. I think it was like $7.99 or something like that. I was wondering if they still sell them and check here:

So they do have them but the price is up a bit. Mine said Tool Shed on the label but it is the same wrench as on Amazon and yes made in China......

The plan was to put it in the tool box in the van but somehow that never happened, yet anyway. Just too much fun to have around for those odd jobs that don't require a real wrench or two or three.

I didn't see any wrenches, I did see a multi purpose tool that could be used as a wrench for several different size nuts or bolts. It would be a very handy tool to have in the tool box.

This is right up my alley. I'm an adjustable wrench/LED flashlight junkie.
I'm getting one. Thx.

I always screw up a nut or bolt with things like this. Close fit but not enough to keep from rounding something over. Always find something like this in a desperate situation, try to get the nut or bolt loose and start rounding it over. But I convince myself this is desperate situation and to try again. After the nut or bolt is sufficienly rounded over enough to make life miserable I throw down the damn thing and go get the correct tool, find out the bolt or nut is too damaged then I go get vise grips, after totally wrecking the nut bolt or both. I finally go get a grinder, drill, or whatever. After I'm finished and usually worn out I make an oath to myself that I will never use the damn tool again. Then I promptly throw it back into my desperate situation tool box only to repeat he exercise again in the future.

You're gonna play the game, boy,
You gotta learn to play it right.

You've got to know
When to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away,
Know when to run.
You never count your turns
When you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the turnin's done.
