Friends:
I think at the present time in history, that these wrenches (along with the cheezy plastic container that they came in) should not be looked at as mechanically useful, but as the finishing touch on most any French bicycle restoration. Why? Because they came as standard equipment with a very large number of new French bikes. All of the ones that I assembled, from the cheapest to the most expensive. Ane probably most people didn't keep them with the bike very long. I still have a bunch of them, and maybe the pouch too.
