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:
ebay.us/CKiSM7 (eBay)
amzn.to/3PAbkTT (Amazon)
If you prefer to use hex nut wrenches, I'd recommend angled/offset ones, like these:
amzn.to/44ljUtL
or a pass-through socket wrench set, like this:
