+1. The park metric open end wrenches are junk. I use them everyday at work and hate them. I am so happy I have a set of Craftsman and metric gear wrenches at home when working on my own bikes. For bike specific tools yes then Park. But, for most everything else it is Craftsman and some Harbor Frieght cheapies for pliers, cresent wrench, screw drivers, etc.
