Advice?



There is another alternative I haven't seen mentioned yet. It's box end
ratcheting wrenches. The ones I've seen are like the non ratcheting
versions with one size at one end and another size on the opposite end.
Mac, Snap On and Sears have them. Sizes are a bit limited and the wrench
needs a little more space to work.

Not only space for the wider wrench head, but room to swing around near
the bolt head. I have a number of them and they're probably the last
wrench I would use in most work.
