Make it a crescent wrench & you're covered.


OK, I'm not really a weight weenie, but that seems a little excessive

I have a couple cheap metric wrenches that I got with lots of yard sale
tools that had other stuff I wanted in them, and they weren't awful
enough to throw out, just wondering which one to toss in the seat bag.
