Open ended crow feet.

Good thread.

Curious on the flare nut crow's feet -- do y'all prefer the 6 point type or the 12 point type?

I prefer 6 point normally, but with these, I can see the 12 points coming in handy. Just worried about stripping bolt heads with 12 point.

Your thoughts?

I have both 6pt and 12 point sets, plus the regular crowfeet.

I bought a Snap On 6 point set about 20 years ago because the price was right. I've used it only a couple times. Would I pay list price for it, No. Would I buy them again with the discount (or used), YES.

My 12 point are Bonney lobular. If you get 12 point crowfeet, make sure they have a lobular or FD type points/lobes/corners. I bought my 12 points from Epstein. Used them only a couple times, but it's nice to have them handy, just in case.......

If buying only one or the other, I would go with the 6 point first.

Digging this thread up to say that Snap-On now DOES have FD+ crowsfoot wrenches, makes me want to upgrade!

I wonder when they are going to be available in metric?

Uh Oh, something else to put on the wish list. It never ends does it?

No, no it does not. Personally, having used both flare-nut and open crowsfeet I prefer the flare-nut for the secure grip.

I have not had to use them very frequently, but when I needed one, there was no other way to accomplish the job than a crowsfoot. I prefer the flare nut style, but there have been a few times that I needed the open ended type. Other than SO the only other ones worth paying for IMO are Armstrong.

Has any one got the Flank Drive Plus Snap on Ones? Do they have a set out? I'm looking for a set and I know the flank drive plus wrenches work really good.

I have a metric set of flare crowfoot sockets from NAPA, Evercraft brand. Came in handy when replacing power steering line on my Dodge RAM.

Me too I couldn't believe how great the finish and quality was for the price
