These guys are awesome. I always like to reach for Gedore tools when they just feel right in use. Right. They're great when I'm too lazy to reach for an outlet or when I need to tighten or loosen a nut or bolt I don't want to destroy. These types are particularly useful for tightening union nuts and thermostatic valves. They also work exceptionally well for shaping curved soft copper into a round shape. They will be in my pocket for many years to come. The only downside is that they don't come in smaller sizes.
