I am thinking it might be useful. especially at work where I need to get at things quickly. I can keep them in my golf cart. Anybody use them?

I purchased a set last summer when the local Sears store was closing down... Used them several times since then and they work fine... Gives you some size flexibility so as not to have to carry several different size wrenches for remote type jobs and you are unsure of the actual sizes you will need...

And it conveniently fits both US and Metric... Wonder if there is a left handed model?

I'm lefthanded myself and this is a perpetual problem. If the tool is only available in the right handed configuration I find that holding a mirror up to the tool before using it is a cheap conversion to the lefthanded operating position.

I actually have a left handed crescent wrench. I am not joking, they make one. The thumb wheel spins the opposite way of a right handed crescent wrench. I have maybe 8 crescent wrenches, they all spin the thumb wheel the same way except this one. Works perfect in my left hand. And I am willing to bet any amount of money to prove it.
