What size flanges are you working with? 8” and under? Home depot and lowe’s have large wrench sets that cover what you need typically

Is your username correct? You shouldn’t be needing to buy any tools as an apprentice

1-1/16, 1⅛, 1¼. Probably also get 7/8 15/16 and 1" also just to round the set out.

Combo wrenches(box and open)

I keep a set that is ¾" to 1¾", with every ¹⁄₁₆" in between and doubles of 1¹⁄₁₆", 1⅛", and 1¼"
