Does anyone use crowfoot wrenches?

[metaldad]

been busy at work, finally got camera time.
my incomplete picture (i have others) of my incomplete crowsfeet.
no, i do not use them often. but, as others have stated, a lifesaver when needed.

the 12pt, ratcheting, reversible, 3/8 drive blue point i wasn't able to find on the internetz, and, the one i believe the op might have been tapping about.

Maybe once a month if that. A couple of times per year for sure. Never when expect it either. Sometimes I use them for spark plugs so I don't have to go from underneath.

Any good uses for them? The ratchet type. I found a good deal on a set and am thinking about buying them just to have.

The things that you learn on GJ. I've used crowsfoot wrenches on occasion (and they are invaluable then) but have never seen or heard of ratcheting ones.

The last use for the crowsfoot was tightening the bolt behind the water pump on my son's 2000 Dodge pickup. Too tight for a socket and a straight wrench wouldn't reach.

Rarely... I'm going to pickup a Tekton set just to have around.

Metal dad has the ratcheing type, i've only seen a few including his i think they would something nice to have.

That's how i feel about them like people say when you need them you really need them.

Pretty much... I've borrowed one twice in the last few years. Need to just buy a set.
