Reply to comment by JWKAtl in Can't fit any wrenches to under the handle to turn water off in my bathroom sink. by Goe_Phaste

Seconded. I prefer using a crowfoot with an extension, and a swivel adapter if necessary. I do a bit of automotive work as well so I have them on hand. Plus, I really despise tools that only have one or so uses. They're dead weight. If I can rent such tools, that's the way to go. We need an Uber for tool sharing.

Tool libraries are a thing in some places, look for one near you.

Thanks for the recommendation. I looked at "The Tool Library" and found it to be a money grab. Paying a membership fee of ~$10/mo is bogus. That's a money grab - not a neighborhood tool sharing program intended to reduce and reuse. It seems some local libraries offer basic tools (tape measures, hammers...) for loan, but it's really the specialty tools or expensive tools that need such a program. I did find a library that offers 3D printers and laser cutter rentals - that's cool and would be useful if I didn't have them at work.
