Mark, I use them to check the 1'st stage plugs before a dive or 
reconfiguring/adjusting and for removing/installing the yoke adapter, 
stuff done out on the boat all the time.

I am tired of finding a rusted lump from a forgotten allen wrench in the 
bottom of my gear box and stains all over my equipment. I dive in salt 
water so anything the least bit ferrous rusts immediately. You must be a 
fresh water diver? 

The whole shebang costs $40 but you can get away with a 5/32", 3/16", 
7/32" for a grand total of $15.98. You realize, of course, that quibbling 
over this amount of money in the sport of scuba diving is laughable, to 
say the least.
