Martin 3/8 drive 12pt Crowsfoot Sets

[VH5150]

Before I drop a lot of money Martin Crowsfoot sets I though I'd ask for some feedback from some of you that have used them.

If there's more negative than positive, I'll look elsewhere. But, I'm looking at those so far because they're 12pt. I like that they're USA too... a bit of patriotism there.

Thanks.

I've used theirs in 1/2" drive. They look, and perform, about the same as the Snap-on and, IIRC Armstrong, ones. I actually suspect they are the same.

12 points do spread at fairly low torque. OK for properly tightened hydraulic fittings but I wouldn't get them for automotive use. I've got Snap-on 6 point ones for that.
