What tool do you use for ford driveshafts?

I know it's a 12mm 12pt socket but what do you prefer? A swivel? Shallow? Deep?

Torch... only thing a Ford is good for is a few $$s at the scrap yard.

I've got a 12pt 1/2dr swivel from Snappy that works out well.

Who makes this tool?

I was thinking 12mm swivel impact but that looks better.

The one I have is a Sunex, but I've seen a couple other brands that look similar for sale. IIRC, it was ~$30 or so.

Matco 3/8 drive shallow 12mm 12 point impact swivel socket.

Mac 12mm 12 point impact, snap-on pin retaining impact u-joint and 6 inch pinned impact extention. It's all dedicated so it never comes apart. I do alot of 8.8 Mustang rears so it gets quite the workout

Some you have to use a wrench and I have encountered this.Ford put the heads of the bolt towards the transfer case housing which a socket will not into.I use a 12mm Mac and Proto 12 point socket on a 6 inch extension.Problem with Sunex is getting them replaced under warranty.Had one impact swivel break and took monthes to get a replacement.
