"I got to use one of my Christmas presents much sooner than I'd expected.
(I buy clothes and jewelry for her, she buys tools for me) Crows foot
wrenches are just not one of my most used tools. I took this set along
when a guy called me to see if I could find and fix the source of a
propane gas leak in the furnace of his motor home. As soon as he said
"motor home" I knew that the word "inaccessible" went along with it.
Soap solution told me that the leak was at a flare fitting near the
base of the furnace, mostly concealed by a floor panel, which would
have required me to disassemble three different fittings in order to
access the leaking one. The floor panel precluded the use of a flare
wrench. I would have then had to reassemble the lines and probably have
created a new leak or two in the process.
With this set of 6-point crows foot wrenches and an 8" extension I was
able to not only access the fitting, but apply enough torque to
eliminate the leak. I would never have dared to apply that much torque
with a set of standard open-end type crows foot wrenches. They are
definitely the crows foot equivalent of flare wrenches. The speed with
which I was able to isolate and fix the problem made one very happy
motor home owner. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't call on me again
the next time he has a problem.
My only fear for this product turned out to be unfounded. I was afraid
that the shape of the wrench and the fact that they'd have to be lifted
off of a nut and not just slid off would cause the crows foot to stay
with the nut while separating from the extension. I would have barely
been able to retrieve the wrench if that had happened. It seems that
the cantilever effect against the extension provides enough friction to
keep that from happening.
I think your product description should feature the fact that these
wrenches are 6-point. I would never have put them on my Christmas list
if I hadn't noticed their unusual shape in the catalog picture."
