You cant get enough torque to use it for anything, cept the fittings on plastic pipe nuts that connect to faucets and stuff.

Actually, the 1" stubby wrench is one of my more popular wrenches. It is long enough to generate all the torque needed to tighten the fuel inlet fittings on Holley carbs. But I made mine by cutting down a full sized wrench.

I agree with most every other recommendation made above, but if you have a few dollars, buy PB Baumann brand screwdrivers and allen wrenches, they are swiss and great.
