In 1986 at Camp Fuji, Japan, I was assigned to a working party one day with other members of my tank platoon. Top (Master Sergeant for the Company) told us to repaint & re-stencil the Paint/HazMat Locker, which was a small conex box. Repaint accomplished, we broke out the stencils to find that...

Angle Wrench (link goes to Jumbo sizes, don’t know why they don’t carry the smaller sizes anymore)
Flare Nut Wrench
