Right tool for the right job.
I love buying tools. I especially like the specialty tools. Such a drool factor when you can complete a job that takes a guy without the correct tool, in a matter of minutes while he is struggling to get creative.
The correct wrench will have a box end to limit rounded bolt, and it will be much longer than a homemade wrench that is all bent up.
I use Snap-on tools, so putting the heat to these is something I am not willing to do. I will spend the extra dough on the right tool. Sure does make it easy as pie.
No busted knuckle either. That is worth it weight in gold right there.

I agree, either way will do the job. Personally, i would make my own. But whatever floats your boat. Go to a pawn shop or something, pick up a chinese wrench for a buck, and bend away.

i like Harbor Freight for "one use" tools. they are really cheap, and when they break i know i didnt spend that much on 'em. ive had Harbor Freight tools last a good bit when i dont put my whole weight on them.

I bought mine already bent at the swap meet for extra cheap since it
was already "ruined" and all. ;)
1/2" on one end and 7/16" on the other end that something like a fat
screwdriver will slip through for extra leverage.
On my 360FE with factory A/C... I used 1/2" knuckle-socket for years
but ran across the modified boxed-end and couldn't resist buying it. :)
YMMV
