Are you talking about the double-sided wrench or the pliers? Either way, it's looking like two tools may be the better route. I'm just inexplicably attracted to the idea of having one tool that does the job of two (or three, or four, etc) which has led to a string of sh*tty multi/combined tools.
Maybe I just answered my own question.
