We've been packing stuff into the garage in preparation to move (hopefully) soon. I have a small ratchet kit in each vehicle for 95% of what they would normally be needed for (up to 15mm) -- my full kits are in my big box which is packed in behind a bunch of boxes. Thus I didn't want to get the van up on stands, tires off, and hands covered in brake dust before finding out whether I'd need to dig out a "big kit" or if the small kit on hand would suffice.

Is that good enough for you, Mr. Sarcastic?

Perfect, thanks guys! At least now I know to dig out the big kit before taking the wife's van out of service for an afternoon. Appreciate the info!
