Need help identifying a tool - Snap On

[thinkracing]

I was working this weekend with a buddy and he had a really nice Snap On wrench that I'd like to get my hands on.

It was a long handle with a ratcheting box end on one side and a regular box end on the other.

What I liked about it was that you could quickly ratchet the bolt down with one side and torque it down on the other.

Anyone have a part number or source so I could buy one. I'm interested in 17mm.

Sounds more like it was an Armstrong/Matco wrench. I don't think Snap on offer that style.

The shorter Armstrong 54-517/Matco GRBLM1717 ones are 11" long. If you want the really long Matco only one let me know and I'll get you the part # for it.

Beat me to it.

Only part I don't understand is that Snap-on only makes that set in 10, 13, 15 and 17. Matco makes a complete set. Not sure about Mac or Cornwell.

I wonder why Snap-on doesn't do a complete set of 8-19?

Yeah, especially 12mm and 14mm. How are you going to use those on a Japanese car? Only German cars must need this type of wrench.

I'm assuming they're just offering the most common sizes so that they don't have a bunch of extra inventory collecting dust in the warehouse.

I would love a 21 mm but they don't make one yet. some trucks all you can fit between leaf springs and caliper brackets is a wrench so a long ratcheting 21 would be sweet.

@mrshaun that's it!

Yes, being used on a Japanese car, specifically the camber bolts on a Miata race car.

I bet there will be more once they get enough requests.
