The lock nuts on tie rods can be pretty agrvating I am happy with matco extra longs and snap on oh series (round handles) any others can come to mind looking mostly at 3/4,19mm,7/8,21mm and 22mm and 15/16 and 24mm

Looking at leverage and nice open ends box ends will not work

The Cornwell extra long 19mm combo would be a nice wrench to have; the beams are rounded like Wright does their wrenches.

I would think that a set of crows foot wrenches would allow you to get any size breaker bar on it , increasing your amount of leverage to whatever you want

Cornwell is nice but I prefer the snappy oh24 3/4 if u have not used a round handle wrench before check it out they are the best I just wish they made them in metric up to 24mm

That could be a pain in the *** because of the swivel in the breaker bar, of course if someone made a rigid breaker bar that didn't swivel- i dont think a serp belt tool would be strong enough

I use the harbor freight metric set at work. Just ordered the 13 and 18 that weren't included from gearwrench. They have served me well

Same here. Used them daily for 2 years doing alignments most of the day. I think I spread the 21 eventually. Warrantied the set, got all new ones.

Can't beat it IMHO. 25 bucks for the set, and like ten bucks to add an 18 and 13. Got my two wrenches off eBay. You could snag a 16 too. Great another wrench to buy :)

i use either my williams superwrench 15/16 or my gear wrench 24mm long pattern ratchet wrench...i prefer the gear wrench though...the "flank drive" cuts on the williams make it a tight fit on some of the nuts

I use my flank drive pluses. There already longer than standerd size wrenches, and the bite helps loosen those crusty northern weathered bolts.

I have had them for two years and haven't had issue yet with any of them. Ez red used to make them also in smaller sizes but no longer do. I bought mine from my tool distributor and haven't had no issues.
