Yup, that's kind of what I was thinking about, too dark to walk to the garage last night. Mine are 8/10 ratcheting box ends, one by Topeak, the other is Park's RMW-1. The Topeak's used more, since it's 5" long & 7mm thick, where as the Park's 5.5" long & 10mm thick (fits less places). Also the ratcheting is finer (more clicks) in the Topeak than in the Park.
