What happens here
This drawer is dedicated to wrenches. It contains a full set of GearWrench combination wrenches (5mm to 19mm and 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch), which are praised for having no skipped sizes. The presenter notes that Icon now also offers no-skip wrench sets. He also has Pittsburgh line wrenches for brake or cooler lines, various adjustable wrenches (which he dislikes but uses), and an assortment of larger, random wrenches collected over time, including some he 'borrowed' and never returned. Also in this drawer are a torque adapter (Quinn) and a basic tap and die set for rethreading.
Goal: Present assorted wrenches, including combination, line, and adjustable types
