Prowler V6

[Programmer]

Todd,

Actually have a set of them--the box end is offset every other 12 point with
the metric equivalent. A 13-1/2, 12-7/16, etc...they actually aren't that
bad a deal--and I've never broken them. They also have socket sets. I don't
use them at the shop--but they work great at home.
