Looking for an extra-long, 0-deg offset 14mm wrench

[The Critic]

Hey guys,

I am looking for something similar to this:

http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item...675048&supersede=&store=snapon-store&tool=all

(I only need the 14mm portion).

Normally, I would just buy the Snap-On wrench, but I have not found any on eBay for a good price.

The only alternative I've been able to locate is this one:

http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/p-15587-k-d-tools-85914.aspx

Is anyone know aware of any other alternatives to the Snap-On wrench, other than the Gearwrench? Ideally, if I could find one similar to the Gearwench, but with a flex-head ratcheting box-end, it would be ideal.

Thanks.

I don't know if they sell these in singles. And I didn't do any price comparisons.

Hmm...good find, but I want one end to be a normal boxed-end...not ratcheting.

Sounds like Matco makes exactly what you're looking for.

http://www.matcotools.com/catalog/p...DEGREE-FLEX-RATCHETING-EXTRA-LONG-WRENCH-SET/

The specific part number is RFBZXLM1414A

 

[shoturtle]

Armstrong has one

Go for the matco box end plus ratcheting flex end the best all around wish someone else made these too (in the us anyway)

I don't think Armstrong is that long.

Personally, I think the Gearwrench Gearbox is a good choice.

I picked up a set of these wrenches at the AAPEX show a few years ago and they have served me well. Nice beams.

There's also V8, Genius, and any of the truck brands.

 

[CWP1616L]

Genius 781417L is another option.

And of course there's the Cornwell BWOHB1417MML

I suspect The Critic will probably go with the GearWrench.

 

[Gotmayhem]

Only the Matco so far fills his requirement for a 14mm box on one end and a 14mm flex-ratcheting on the other.

You'd have to go Matco to get that one.

EDIT: the part number is RFBZXLM1414 but it doesn't work on their site. The number is out of the 2009-2010 catalog.

you have to log in to be able to order that single piece. it shows $45.19 and the new number is rfbzxlm1414a. the 13 x 14mm is available for $40 and the part number is RBZXL1314. my buddy has the whole set of them. i think they feel a bit flimsy but man did that his 17mm one come in very handy while trying to get some bolts out of my car

Is that what you have to do? I even tried the same part number with the A on the end and it still didn't work.

Gearwrench 85914 - XL Double Box.

I've got a 10-19 mm set of these, they are very nice.

 

[ChevyEFI]

Walk onto a truck and buy one

 

[The Critic]

Thanks guys. I decided to go with the gear wrench due to price. It was only $17 and I had a 10% off coupon on the total order. Hopefully it will work as advertised.

The seller that I ordered the gearwrench from was apparently OOS. I got tired of waiting and tried to find a Snap-On wrench on eBay, but was not able to find one without purchasing an entire set.

So, I ordered one of these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/150704189583?item=150704189583&viewitem=&vxp=mtr

I'll keep you folks posted as to what arrives.

I was not aware that these were on the market, put them on my wish list on amazon for the sets of Gearwrench.

As promised, here are some pictures of the wrench I received. From an initial appearance, it looks pretty darn similar to the Snap-On XDHFM1417. From end-to-end, the wrench measures 14.5.

very nice.

Sets of the Snap On high performance wrenches turn up fairly often on 'special' in the U.K. and, I suspect, the U.S. as well! Having stomped up the cash for the whole set, I have to say they are superb, probably the best wrenches I own, and worth the investment!

Failing that, Nepros make a similar pattern, and they offer a 12 x 14 for a bit less than the Snap On! Have yet to acquire any Nepros (awaiting my first order) but reviews on this site have all been good!
