For lack of a 10mm offset box wrench...

[damont]

...automotive repairs earlier this evening required two socket wrenches, one crescent wrench, a flashlight, and a pair of channel-lock pliers.

And to finish tightening things all up I *still* need the $^@#! offset box wrench.

An auto shop may have a more specialized tool for this, I guess. It's unusual that I'd need a box wrench at all in the normal course of events; this just happens to be a situation where space is so tight that there's no room for a crescent wrench to maneuver.

I've figured out that I would still have needed one socket wrench and the channel-locks for one specific task. But for the rest, the box wrench would have sufficed.
