Handy to keep in your pocket when you don't know what size wrench you need.

I really don't want to be too critical of this winding key. It offers 5 different (straight) roller sizes in one block and I really can't fault the quality. The problem is that it takes a very long time to fully wind a grandfather clock with such a multi-key, which offers virtually no leverage. I've only looked at 3 grandfather clocks, but all 3 use a size 8 key, so I don't really need the other four sizes in this tool. It's handy to have in your pocket when looking at unfamiliar watches, but impractical for a weekly winding.

Pros
