[Vwdiesel] It's alive

[Chuck Carnohan]

Good point Erik!  Mine do have the little levers and are angled just
like any good box wrench.  Makes many hard/confined jobs easier and
faster.  I've been there with stuck wrenches too.  Patience is a mutha!

I second the ratcheting box wrench - wonderful tool!!
But I found out the hard way a few times that you
definitely want the reversible kind with the little
lever. Otherwise you can back something out too far
and get the wrench stuck.

But yeah, they're one of my favorite tools.
