i have an old 1/2 inch 9/16th inch combo box end wrench that has an offset, most of the bolts on my truck are half or 9/16th so i use it all the time.

that was called a starter wrench back in the old days.
i have 4 of them, and use them more than any other wrench.

Snap-On full rotating head 1/4" drive ratchet. for body work it gets into all the tight spaces, rotated on end it acts as a nut driver, and has taken daily abuse since 1997.

A close second would also be the offset 1/2" and 9/16" box end wrench as stated in the previous post.

A close third would be my Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver.

Answering this question is like having 12 kids and asking who is the favorite. If you have 12 kids a plug should have been the favorite tool. lol No I have a pair of pliars made for pipe which the harder you have to grip to get a bite the thing seems to grip 125%. I use them to crimp solderless connectors like they were soldered. They're adjustable and lock at the setting you want. They come in different sizes to cover all pipes.
