Yes, I did. And I have a Nexus S, which is a Google branded phone made by Samsung. Won't do Magnavox because of their attitude toward rooted phones, and won't do an unrooted phone because then I'm waiting on the phone manufacturer to decide if/when to give me updates.

That's why I ended up buying Gearwrench (made in Taiwan, but they happen to make the Craftsman sets at a U.S. factory).
You can find 16mm and 18mm ratcheting wrenches as singles for ~$20 a piece.
It'd be much nicer if they could just make a true complete set.

Regardless, you might consider switching over to one of the fittings that takes a needle nozzle to grease. They are almost flush with the joint they fit into.
great idea Mark thanks
