The $18 brake bleeder wrench that saved my knuckles last month

Picked up a cheap offset bleeder wrench after a 2004 F-150 fight in Portland, and it blew my mind how much simpler bleeding gets when you can actually swing the tool. Anyone else wish they'd swapped their standard wrenches sooner, or is there a better budget setup you swear by?

Whoa, wait, you got an $18 wrench to actually save your knuckles? I always figured cheap tools were just for show, but that’s genuinely wild if it held up on a Ford. Maybe I’ve been stuck with the wrong wrenches this whole time, so I might have to grab one before my next brake job.
