I'm realizing that the handle end would make it nice and easy to apply torque.

Hell, even 12 point for that matter...

I've seen SAE sets (mostly 12pt). Never seen metrics...

It would be nice to find a 15mm like you have shone bmwpower it would be vastly use full for me for track days.

Couldn't you just take a 15 mm wrench and use a grinder to cut out a section of the wrench?

I know they are double end 12 point but the 'handle' looks pretty thick. You could cut the unneeded end off. Didn't see any 6 pt stuff. I do have some craftsman professional ones I use. Work pretty good.

I don't think anyone does today. Snap on has some new ghey line wrenches with a composite handle and imperial makes those ratcheting line wrenches with a handle..
Why don't you just use a flare crowfoot wrench attached to a 3/8 drive breaker bar? I think that would close to the same size as pictured.

The Toptul European Style wrenches look very similar to the Elora wrenches.

O K , cut the unused side off and weld on a piece of bar/round stock or pipe in any length you desire.

I bet when others see how well they work you could sell them some, too. Just keep extras at home to get top dollar for your 'only' set.

I have Elora flare nut wrenches, they're awesome. Really good to use, no chance of rounding anything off with them either. :)

OR, you could put a SO hard handle on it :D

It's not so much the single end, but the handle grip that attracts me to it. Sometime you need the grip for torque AND control. Short flare wrenches on stuck bleeders etc. just plain stink.

Maybe we can get GearWrench to make some? :lol_hitti

Granco makes a "long series" of line wrenches, but they have a "box" on the other end.

Snap-On did. I have a 2643 3/4" 12 pt wrench. If you look up Heavy Duty Box Wrenches at McMastr-Carr, it looks like them but with 4 points cut out.

I've a couple from McMaster at work and they are a beefy wrench. Start at 1/2" and go up to 1 1/2".

Here is what I use for better or worse... Also I use the 1/4 body ratchet with a 3/8 head in it, for when I don't have a lot of room... Just a thought for something different.... Also 6 point too!!!!

I may have to get a set of those 1/4" crowsfeet and a small 1/4" breaker bar. Might be a good compromise.

All of the ones I have are 3/8 heads, but with the small fm70a ratchet(3/8 head in 1/4 body), it would be like a 1/4 ratchet.

Hmmmm... The ones I have are snap on and they are in both metric and SAE, but not 1/4, will the bigger ones work? What sizes are you looking for?

For metric lines, like 6mm, 7mm, 8mm or thereabouts.
