*cries in rust belt car repair* I learned that impact wrenches SIGNIFICANTLY heat the socket, extension, and bolts when used. I think the ratchet strap really tells the story. Hah.

This gets into one of the best conversations I had with my dad. He didn't own vice grips till I was in my late 20s. "They're the wrong tool."
Sadly adjustable are a great way to round nuts off.
... but I have two in my motorcycle tool kit.

I can see it being quite easy to have 140, unique, wrenches without having duplicates. If you want to have a toolbox that can handle everything from car to quadcopter.
I should go count the hand wrenches I have. I do work on my own cars... and quadcopters.. but my tool collection isn't crazy.

Or a fastener is a soft material and you need all the contact you can get. Short wrenches are sometimes the only way to make things happen, because sometimes engineers hate us. You need a set of six or eight thin wrenches for the common locknuts you run into. Conclusion on next. /3

But if you have a nut and bolt, with the same head, you need two of that wrench. Sometimes you need open ended wrenches, when clearances won't let you get a closed end wrench on something. Closed end wrenches are the only way when you need rachet function in a tight space. /2

And at this point Nerobro / Nero Wolfe may have a bigger real presence than the physical person behind the keyboard.

I would scream this from the rafters if the internet had any. The amount of "I asked *ai* and it said *lies*" I run into is a freaking burden at this point.
