another allen wrench size

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

Welcome to the list!

Go ahead and purchase the set of triple square tools you will not be sorry
to have them in your tool chest. Buy the good ones (Mac, Snap-On, etc.) and
your children will be using them one day (assuming they don't get borrowed
or lost).
