Got the wrenches from ebay. They are in great condition-brand new! Just not sure of the relevance of the flavored condoms that came with them.

If you are working with Swagelok (http://www.swagelok.com/search/find_products_home.aspx?SEARCH=/search/Fittings/id-10000007/type-1) or Parker tube fittings then the 9/16, 11/16, and 7/8" would be the most popular in the set for 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" double ferrule compression tube fittings.

I can tell you what these wrenches are absolutely marvelous for:- Any job where you can only get a fork spanner on, but the nescessary force demands a ring spanner. Loosening the fittings on car brakes, where you often end up with "round hexes" is a joy if you have these wrenches. Pipe & tube rep or maintenance is a completely different ball game, if you are the happy owner of this set. My only gripe, is as usuall, that I can't get them metric! (I live in Norway) but OK, this applies to a lot of Ridgid's products.
