Best pocket wrench

[admin]

Hey gang,

Am thinking of getting a pocket tool wrench. Was wondering if anyone uses theirs, and have gone through some of the comparison thinking already.

Here’s my take so far:

1. Lee Valley Pocket Wrench: ruler, thin, cheap
2. PockeTTool Piranha: SAE and Metric, bottle opener, hex driver, medium price, a little big/heavy
3. Atwood Prybaby: expensive, unobtanium, only SAE, smaller max wrench size as compared with Lee Valley

If I got a Prybaby, it could live on my tool keychain – if I got a Pocket Wrench or a Piranha, I think it would have to live with my Leatherman, or in another pocket.

How important is it to have Metric? Are most bolts found in the US SAE? I realized I don’t know because when I used to have a full ratchet set (before someone walked off with it), I would just hunt which size fit, but didn’t keep track of how many of Metric v/s SAE I used.

Any advice appreciated!
