does anyone make such a thing?

I see plenty of crowfoot flarenut designs following a ring head 12 point design like picture 2, however I never see this ring head design featuring a 6 point like picture 1. The only 6 point designs seem to be those shown in picture 3. Do you know if anyone sells a design like picture 1?

He's responding to gdocktor3's signature. Unrelated to the point of the thread.

I like that.

It's not just about saving money. It's the satisfaction of doing something not everyone can do. And saving the money...

#3 seems like it would be the least likely to spread the jaws but also it won't fit into tight spots as the others.

I actually think design number one was the early version and it evolved into #3. I seem to remember design #1 from a long time ago when I was in school being made by MAC. If you had a design #1 and laid it over the same size #3, I don't think there would that much of a size difference or a gain in reach.

That is the exact thing I was thinking of. Do you know if Bonney ever made these in metric? What about the old MAC ones that people talk about? Did these ever come in metric?

 

[bob15]

My Bonney catalog (# 800.....maybe 1980?) doesn't list a flare crowfoot wrench in metric. In fact, they are calling the metric crowfoot wrenches, "new".

 

[tommydog35]

did anyone else make them?

My dad has this Mac set in metric, 9mm to 18mm, purchased some time in the 90s. That Bonney looks a lot slimmer, though.

Edit: if anyone is interested in trying to find them, the part numbers on these are CHBM9 through CHBM18.
