I flatted on my fix gear 10 miles from home across the street from a small shopping mall and gas station. Forgot my wrench. Gas station had no mechanics at that hour and no access to tools, Attendant suggested the Dollar Tree there. Bought a $1 vise grip. Worth every penny I spent and not a cent more. Destroyed it doing the change, but it got me home.
