I carried #19 + 20 on my '61 MBz190. When that blew an engine [long story] and I bought a '68 Chevy truck, it came w/ M3 Greasegun and 2.5'' bazooka. Just as effective but easier to come by parts and ammo. The seller kept the M2 .50 Cal and flex-mount, that was on the back deck, but the extra $50 he wanted for it was more than I could swing at the time.

As for the OP's kit: Agree'd, Brilliant. But since we're not shedding ounces and grams for some bicycle competition, the small space and weight of a 3/8'' ratchet justifies its addition. Nice trick with the 9/16 -- all the same.

Now, if your 9/16 Combo wrench was a GearWrench, with selectable ratchetting on the Box end, you'd have the best of both worlds.
