Update
Doing winter prep and creosoting all outdoor timber.
In order to dismantle gate furniture and other items I used the multiwrench.
It is now in the main tool tote.
I found removing and replacing nuts easy .... Ooo er missis .....
Seriously, using a socket and ratchet is quicker and easier than a spanner ( as you know) but where the multi wrench won out was not having to take a socket from its bar, put it on the ratchet, find it is the wrong one, replace it, get the right one and so on to change sizes.
The multi wrench replaces 8 sockets so for the popular sizes with good access it has earnt a place in the main tool tote .
Mine is a cheap one so the handle material is soft and damages easily.
The ratchet has about half the teeth of the socket set ratchet so it is slower to use but given the above, still quicker overall.
Cheers
