Do any of you use these reciprocating-style T-handle wrenches? Do they work well? I was doing valve covers on a Subaru today and thought something like this could be useful in that it has the reach of a long wrench but doesn't require the swing room to ratchet it.

I have not used them, but ordered a 1/4" one the other day. We are doing pylon inspections and replacing the pins if they fail on a bunch of aircraft. We have to take isolation blocks off of the fuel and hydraulic tubing running through there to get the pins out. Not a fun job and if this wrench works out for it, it is money well spent and I will get the other sizes to complete the set in SAE.

I will do a follow up post on how it works out when we do this job again.

That was our go-to tool to R&R the Hydromechanical Unit (HMU) on GEAE’s CF6-80C2 FADEC gas turbine engine. A real time saver as HMU MTBR was abysmal early on. Can’t say I’ve had recent need of the tool since but it clearly stood out in my memory when I clicked on the link.
