I'm looking to order a double flare nut wrench set along with a double box wrench set from Germany to save on shipping costs.

I want at least 8-19mm coverage, and like the matte sand finish of German tools.

I notice however, though that after 14mm, the Germans seem to only offer 12pt/bi-hex in their flare nut wrenches. I've checked Hazet, Stahlwille,Gedore, and Gedore Red.

Does anyone know of a matte finish 6pt flare nut wrench set that covers 8-19mm? Doesn't have to be German, but would like to know if the option is German before I ship out my double box wrench set to save some shipping costs.

Stanley Proto do them in satin 6pt .
I like the stahlwille set, they do the 12pt as increase positions and considered not much loss on 14mm up.
Toptul do satin set but they copied germans on most of their wrench design thus 12pt on larger sizes, is a nice quality set .

Well Hello Mr. B, you seem to be well versed in my tool preferences :).

I figured the logic with the 12pt on the larger sizes, but because of the amount of rust we get, I don't like 12pts, I can't do it.

I did look into Proto but noticed they didn't go up to 19mm in their 5 peice set, and it bothered me that they skipped 16mm. I overlooked that they sell a 9 piece SAE/Metric set which also includes a 16x18 and 19x21. Of course, that set doesn't include the 7x8 from the 5 piece set.

I'll be piecing together a complete metric 6pt Proto set. I trust that if there were any other sets worth my time, Mr_B would know about it.

Already purchased the 5 piece metric set, have to track down a matching 6x18 and 19x21 now.

Thread success, thank you Mr_B!
