I too had a need to buy a set of wrenches as I was over 2K from the shop and an alternator went out in a newer Chevy truck. I bought the alternator, 40 dollar set of metric wrenches and changed it out in the parking lot of AZ. However one of the wrenches broke while in use resulting in a broken finger and a trip to the drugstore for a splint.

Now when the air temp goes down, my finger reminds me of the necessity of having a set of quality tools with me on road trips.
