Well, another slant.

I found about 12 various wrenches to grinders and Makita tools today. Some
of them I know what it goes to. Some of them, I haven't a clue.

BUT I DO KNOW THIS - If I toss ANY of those wrenches, even though I may not
have used it for ten years, I WILL NEED IT WITHIN THREE DAYS.

Never fails.

Yep. Know that one. And they all look pretty similar. Wrecked one
trying to change a 9 inch angle grinder blade - not even sure if it was
for that particular grinder, but it fitted. Solved the problem by
buying a decent adjustable pin wrench, keep it in its orginal packet
(so its nice and BIG) and problem solved......but your right, have a
drawer full of other ones for gawd know what - besides, its a mortal
sin to throw away a tool anyway....... still got a wrench that came
with my Grandfathers Model T......
