Get some additional, varying sizes Flathead and Phillips bits while you're at it.
The adjustable wrenches I use (instead of hex nut wrenches) are Husky, but these (with the red insert) work very well... 6-inch will be used the most:

If you prefer to use hex nut wrenches, I'd recommend angled/offset ones, like these:

or a pass-through socket wrench set, like this:

Quick question: Walmart Shakespeare reels...are they disposable or ? Able to be serviced

[@TSGReelService]

Thanks for the question. I don't view any reels as disposable... the reel I've used the most over the past 5+ years is a Shakespeare... see here:
th-cam.com/video/eRUSH_ygpaE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=He1UOvOWDtbtg0ZB
That being said, if you're going to have a "disposable" reel, they would fall into that category based on price.

What grease and oils do you recommend, Penn or Corrosion X

[@TSGReelService]

CorrosionX is a little sticky for my liking, but surf fishermen tend to like it. See the description page for oils and greases I like.
