If you don't already own these tools, owning them probably won't do you any good.

by the time they need a basin wrench and sleeve puller, they will probably have forgotten where they put them

Amazing how I still see so called "mechanics" using one wrench

The one handed wrench guys do create lots of work especially on Yellow brass and galvanized

One of my old employers used to look in a guyys tool box and if the had channel locks he would fire them
