Actually there's a shortcoming (IMO) of the reversible set.  At least the
GearWrench ones have a strengthening web across one side of the 'socket',
which means you cannot slip them past a nut, or use them upside down.
Sometimes I need the offset to go towards the bolt instead of away from it,
which means I cannot use the GearWrench.
