I looked at the site. In my opinion the fat handles on the vave adjuting wrenches will only get in the way of where your hands need to be.
Also back at the 5 (rear) even there expensive Hazet wrenches get cramped for space. If the handles were fatter it would even be more difficult to work in that area.
This pic is not exactly to the point as I was comparing the normal long handled Hazet wrench the to short handled Hazet wrench on the 5 cylinder but try to picture 2 wrenches with only ablyt 1/4 inch of space between them when you are using them and you will get what I am speaking about.


I have no comment on the other items.

agreed, there is more than one instance where the wrenches want to overlap also. He does have skill though, the borderline useful items look well made

Can't comment on the Hazet wrenches, the monstercraftsman wrenches work pretty well, better than my first pair from **************. Its not strictly about the thickness of the handle as much as the nesting angles that allow both wrenches to rotate without being in each others way.

I got a set of valve wrenches from him, they worked great. No problems with one passing over the other.
