Wrenches or spanners are most useful. Sockets are very useful in many cases. I keep complete sets of both SAE and Metric wrenches in my car. along with Allen wrenches of both types. I do have some excellent adjustable ( crescent ) wrenches, but prefer wrenches that fit exactly as I was taught in maintaining aircreft.
