1) mechanics gloves
2) cordless ratchet, I have a Milwaukee
3) twisted combo wrench set
4) all the above

The twisted wrenches look odd but has your hand pushing on the flat instead of the edge. Disclaimer… I don’t have a set… yet. Multiple brands offer them.

Maybe this link will work

Most of mine are older craftsman, they work well for my occasional wrenching.

If I need a tool I don't have it's either HF Icon, or off to Lowes for their house brand Kobalt, pretty well made and have worked without flaw.

They have complete sets like this 302 piece set that comes in a hard case that keeps it organized.

This. They are not cheap but I have been VERY impressed with any KTC (also branded as Nepro) tool I’ve held. I want to replace all of my old Craftsman ratchets with them.

There is a new set on Etsy at less than half price located in Japan but, I imagine they get costly with tarriffs, duty and import fees. Then we gotta pay a delivery service here. Some high quality tools for certain.
