Do these exist?

[tommydog35]

I am looking for the type of crow foot shown in the pictures below with either 3/8" or 1/4" drive in 6 or 12 point metric. Note these are different to most crowfoot as they are extra long. They must be the flare type shown in the pictures below, but I want 14mm metric. So far I have only been able to find imperial. Snap on made them and so did Proto, but again I can’t find any in metric with the flare design. Do they exist anywhere? I really appreciate your help with this as I am having no luck tracking something down.

It's looking like you'll have to take a 14mm 12-point torque adapter and cut your own slot in it to make an extended length flare nut crowsfoot.

I swear I did not read Jeremy's post before posting this.

Here's pretty much what you are looking for. It is a specialty tool for removing Honda and Toyota fuel filter flare nuts. It is 3/8 drive with a 6pt flare nut 14mm end. Note, this tool has a bit of a metal lip inside the flare nut end to keep it from slipping off during use, it's not just a plain flare nut end. You can see the lip in the listing picture.

Many thanks for this, it looks like it could do the job. I presume it is Chinese made, do you know if any decent brands make anything like this?

The Ebay listing states that it's made in Taiwan, so it might actually be quite good in terms of quality. I don't think I've ever been disappointed with the quality of a Taiwanese tool for the price paid. In terms of other brand options, I don't know of any right off hand. You might want to look at a couple of the main Japanese tool brands (KTC, Koken, etc.) to see if they make one, since the wrench is designed for use on Japanese cars.

I just got the tool and you are right the quality looks quite good . The tool is in fact KTC. It says KTC U1402
