Hi Andrew,

Your observations are similar to mine.
Now you have me curious about the red wrenches!

SurferRosa,
"Aren't single sized hex/allen wrenches $0.50 at the hardware store?"
Yes. We use them too, as they are in some ways more useful than three-ways - they can get in to tighter spots and are good for higher-torque applications.
Still, the three-ways get lots of use.

SoyaBean,
'condo tools' - a new term for me! We commonly use P-handle wrenches for loosening difficult fasteners.

PDLamb,
Yep, we have lube and heat for difficult situations.

Thanks and good health, Weogo
