wheel pants say something like they're now ready to be installed and "begin a hard, hard life".
Vans aren?t joking about the hard life of wheel pants. We have repaired ours twice in as many years.
Having built a slow build 7 there is plenty of humour in the big book of words ! it helps keep your mental state in line over the years spent in the workshop

This is the latest repair i have done this week... just before primer and paint

Default purchased metric crescent wrench from HF
I purchased metric crescent wrench from HF. It is solar powered and includes a cigarette lighter and LED light but the included batteries only last for one cigarette.

I prefer the 18V cordless hammer (see p. 2 here).

Default Metric crescent wrench
I purchase a special metric/sae crescent wrench that can be used at any angle on all three axis. The only problem is it has a tendency to over tighten nuts.
