How about this tool??

[Industrial Toys]

If I had an assistant to hand me the wrenches, I think I would just go one step further, and let them do the job.

Kind of like, you might be a redneck if you say you would get a shop with a car hoist if you won millions. I don't think I would be pulling on a lot of wrenches.

Having to remove a mercury inboard /out board engine recemtly and all bolts were 9/16th. except the exhaust water jacket and below the level of seeing the bolts. no tool metric or standred would fit. took a vice grip and loosened one bolt .and didn't have a tool for torx type bolt. then realized a 12 point socket would fit. except didn't have in tool box. 15 mile trip to garage and return then again crawl into the small area on boat to remove the remaining 3 bolts. if I could make a change all bolts common group usage would be same size. because know will be when repairs completed and returning to the boat.
have a Creasent wrench my father hung on a 1952 Farmall H and on selling the tractor put it in my tool box. Now wish had not sold the tractor.

That's why I don't change my own oil any more. Once down and once up is my limit.

I wrote the size of the drain plug on white Gorilla tape and stuck it under the hood. Last time I forgot it was there and did the multiple crawl thing anyway.

What I would like is the tool that you use to determine thread size and pitch. The only reason that I don't have one is because I don't know what it's called.

$50-$100 adjustable wrench won't find it's way into my tool box.

They have some for less on Amazon.

All depends on what you are working on. That is one piece of the 1000V insulated tools I carry in my briefcase. Nice wrench and I prefer not to be energized (again).

The thread cleaning files are what you want. I have 3 of them. Just lay it on the thread until you find the perfect fit.

The square ones I used had 8 pitches on one file.

Good piece of gear to have. Great for cleaning up damaged threads.
