Howdy,
So my buddy has these super cool Snap-On 0 degree long handle zero degree
box wrenches.
http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=hand&item_ID=68008&group_ID=17469&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog
and
http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=hand&item_ID=5955&group_ID=612&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog
(snap on makes these nearly impossible to find on their website btw...
They aren't under Wrenches --> Box / Offset / Flank Drive where you'd
expect them to be. They're at: Hand Tools Index --> High Performance /
Spline Wrenches / Flank Drive)
Anyway, these things are awesome. Lots of leverage. Not so awesomely,
they're priced like all the rest of Snap-On's tools.
So Harbor Freight has this set:
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=96212
But I only see it in English, and most everything I do is metric.
Gearwrench has something kinda like it:
http://www.gearwrench.com/catalog/wrenches/ratcheting/gearbox/
Those look good, except that I really kinda like having two wrenches in
one... I'm not sure how much a really long pattern ratcheting wrench like
this would help.
Anyway... I'm hoping someone out there has seen something like the snap-on
or Harbor Freight wrenches above, in metric versions, for a reasonable
amount of money.
Anyone? Thanks!
Mark
