My thanks.
Those look real solid. I find the 15, 16 and 17mm ones are the ones I most frequently need. Of course, the only time you need to worry about damaging them is when you're first trying to take apart a rusty, crusty old hub or one that someone else has overtightened. (So, yeah, basically every hub I didn't put together myself
)
