[GreenKeys] Tools you can use.

[Pete Lancashire]

I toss my 2 whatevers in. A lot of tools have been misused, hence their bad
reputation. But in their defense it also comes down to quality. I have two
of these wrenches made in USA and Canada my guess in the 1950's, one is
100% bronze so it will not cause sparks. The are both very high quality, on
the flip side 90% of the ones I've seen are junk and will turn anything you
use them on into the same.

It comes down to how well they maintain their parallel surfaces and as
drlegendre
has said they where for a limited purpose.
