Large crowsfoot sets

[mustang79]

Needs some help trying to decide which crowsfoot set to buy. Looking for a set roughly 1''to 2'' half inch drive. . Not really looking to spend $700 or $800 dollars for snap-on or proto as I will only use these occasionally. Just wondering if anyone had and or using one of the less expensive sets offered by atd,v8, grip. etc. thanks..

I have the GRIP SAE set, use it on my Jeep's control arm jamb nuts. Good for the few times I use them.

how much you willing to spend? I have been going the ebay route in my hunt. usually 10-15 bucks per piece or less. i have bought 4 this way for inner tie rod sizes i use a lot. granco, bonney, proto and snap on so far for cheap.

Craftsman has SAE and metric sets that are about $50 each set and more complete than the sunex sets and are fully chromed, good quality.

I just bought this set metric 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 for about $45 at sears

And I just noticed the "large" portion of it... oops

I have the sunex sets from 1" to 2 1/4". I think I paid about 170. Good fit, finish, and warranty. Only possible complaint it they are thinker than snap on. But I have not yet had it be an issue

I have the V8 set. They work, although I suggest "aiming higher". Not necessarily tool truck, but probably would get the T&E if I have to do it all over again.

A few fit kinda iffy.

I use a whole lot of the sizes, some guys might only use a few and it would be ok for them.

thanks for all the input. where do you buy t&e tools. Tooltopia does not list much for them and I don't think anyone around my area carries their line. My Matco guy said he could get me a summitt brand? for decent money. No, it is not summit racing. Ichecked. My matco guys district manager called them an approved vender for what thats worth.

northern. hold on to your wallet, it's not tool truck price, but could make you shy.

You can also look in to Martin stuff also

I have looked into martin but it seems they only offer the 12 point flare nut. I think for the sake of simplicity I want an open end style.

My local parts store offer atd line of crowsfeet? good or bad?
