theres going to be times when the more common mechanics tools are not ideal, especially in tight access conditions like changing plugs or sensors, some of these tools will sit unused for weeks but when they do come in handy they save you a good deal of effort

ALDEN WRENCH

Product Comments: Unique design combines open-end wrench with ratcheting function. Very useful in certain situations where there isn't enough room to swing a conventional wrench. Hand polished 17-4PH stainless steel. 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
The best part of Mr. Alden's wrench design is the way it works. The wrenches have a uniquely shaped head, with a spring-loaded "under-jaw" that acts as a ratchet.

Most open-end wrenches need as much as 60 degrees of swing to work, but the Alden wrench only needs 30 degrees. The design of the wrench also allows them to fit slight variations in fastener sizes when the fastener head is rusted or deformed.
