Had an old "multi-size" wrench I kept in my pouch. It was steel, about 6" OAL with a "skeletonized" handle, the jaws were smooth on one side, serrated on the other, and they fit various nuts from about 1/4" to 3/4". Had just found another that went from 1/2" to 1" before my stuff got ripped.
They were handy for holding connectors, tightening wire nuts and such.

Yeah the adjustable nut driver.... Man, I miss it, I,m tempted to snag the one that was on e-bay. But promissed myself not to buy any more tools this year. I don't need it, it was a luxury item. It had three cams in it that closed on any size nut. Real handy for ballast changes where all the nuts were different sizes.
As far as getting tools stolen, there's nothing worse. I pity the fool, I ever find with one of my tools in his hand.

Ryan,
I still have one of those in my toolkit, and still use it sometimes. Used with a large auger bit it's still a good way to bore a hole where you want careful control.

The pic of the bit and brace got me thinking about what I did start in the trade with. Pre cordless battery drill days I used these two Stanley Yankee drivers. Just needed 8 hours of sleep to recharge the "batteries". Kentvw ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/forum/el/yankeedrivers.jpg)

They make a better version of the Yankee these days... Shorter, more compact, takes 1/4" hex bits.
