Swiss Tools Wrench Set

7-11-08-wrench-set.jpg

These are no more than a pretty set of wrenches for hexagon screws. But we know from experience that the better looking a tool is (well, assuming functionality is on par with the alternatives), the more likely we are to keep it in a convenient place and use it.

 
 

These are color-coded by size, and about $30 for the set.

I like rainbows and I'm not gay, and I like unicorns, and I'm not eight. I don't know what else to say. I have very little use for these. I used to have one, but it came with its own size allan wrench, which I still have. Is this something I would need to buy if I shopped at IKEA?

They are a good set, I had them in my lab. (I also appreciated the rainbow, as soon as they came in I claimed the set!)

Oh, I like.
These are something you'd need to buy if you worked on old bicycles, btw. Ikea supplies its own.
