Offset ratcheting wrench.....

Does anyone own one, out of curiosity?

I've scoured the internet for 2 days but couldn't find it anywhere

They used to exist at some point, in fact SK had a set

I think SK went through some restructuring and they don't have the supplier who made these tools anymore.

Somebody must be selling them?

I have a set of Craftsman ratcheting offset wrenches.

These ones don't seem to have much of an offset, but maybe it's just the picture.

Out of stock

Found a similar set, available at home depot.

The space around the gears seems a bit too wide, I think it would be hard to get into tight spaces

The one at Home Depot look exactly like the craftsman.

If you looking for a side to side offset you should get these

I've seen these, they look rather bulky.
I'm using them to remove two last nuts from the exhaust manifold.
Really slow with a regular offset wrench.
The space is very tight so only thin wrenches will work.
Now I realize that the nuts are 11mm and the set I'm looking for doesn't even have 11mm in the set, but it looks so cool I wanted it anyway

I bought a set of flare nut socket "crows foot" In both sae and metric and I think I may have actually used on that exact problem.

Combined with my triple jointed "Dr Seuss" ratchet (that literally goes around corners).

Holy crap they have it again. I'm going to get a spare I've been looking for almost two years to find this crazy thing.

This one beats the expensive brands hands down because the first swivel is at the head not inches from the head.

Will pass-through flex head socket driver work? I bought this set for O2 sensor replacement and they've worked well so far.
But don't know about your exhaust manifold bolt tolerances. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...40cdd99991.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0df2c0072a.jpg

Here's my 'dr Seuss' ratchet in action removing an exhaust manifold.

Ahh I'm not sure I understand this tool, but seems no different than a flexible head wrench?

Andrew thanks for sharing the video. Tried looking for that double fleshed ratchet in canada but no luck.

I'm wondering if this offset wrench set would be good for the job. I'm thinking it would, but so expensive...

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