It is a flexible head with pass through like a box end wrench and a thin bladed handle to get into tight places

It's very very different



Close up of the end. The first swivel is at the center of the pivot axis of the ratchet meaning the first offset is zero millimeters vs the several cm offset of any other option.

There is a T handle you can actually use straight out from the fastener if needed (not much torque). I cut a notch into my T handle to make it removable for better clearance.

I was able to get to every difficult exahust manifold nut on two M62; one was in a 5 series wagon one was in a 7 series sedan. Full disclosure didn't do on X5.

Reattaching was definitely a challenge without a lift but I used a floor jack to lift the manifold from near the cats and could position were needed.

One side I put the head into the manifold before the block and used my 5:1 pully to pull the head into the alignment sleeves. There was about an inch of stress in the pipe down to the cat and I didn't want to have to deal with 18 yr old eshaust pipe fittings. It was easier to leave connected and bend the pipe. It was very interesting that the exhaust pipe made the whole head float over the block.

You can probably order from HF for shipping to Canada.
