Metric angle head wrenches

[shockwave]

I was looking for a nice set of metric angle head wrenches but I see most are sae and not metric they look to be quite useful for rack and pinion and some O2 replacement

I was looking at sunex but I do see snap on makes them aswell

Proto makes some up to 19mm in size. They are actually very nice quality.

If you don't have a heavy use for the angle wrenches, or don't want to spend a lot of money on a set, take a few minutes to read through the following thread paying particular attention to Post #32:

Sunex and Tekton both sell metric sets.

SO is 30/60 angles, which are the main benefit of using these wrenches.

For rack & pinion I would always use a flare nut crowfoot socket to break them free then use a 4 angle to loosen them if space allowed. Works well!

Shockwave, If you haven't bought your set of angle wrenches yet, here is another, older, thread that discusses Sunex angle wrenches that you may find useful.

angle head wrenches are one of "those" tools that collect dust most of the time, but are true lifesavers when the time comes.

i dont have a matching set, but range from 3/8"- 1 5/8" in truck brands.

the only metrics i ever needed were 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, so thats all i ever bought.

a couple of my co-workers have some el cheapo angle heads, i can tell from the crashing,banging and cussing they spread open wayyyyyy too easily..

Many of the European tool brands have them in metric as well as Nepros, none are what you call cheap though.
