Did you see any 1/4" drive, not flare nut.

thanks Ron: but none of the EBay offerings matched my requirement for
"straight,(non flare nut) fractional, 1/4" drive crowfoot wrenches.
Everybody seems to make the 3/8" and 1/2" drive sets. I don't understand why
there aren't some 1/4" drive sets out there other than the ones manufactured
on the Space Station from "Unobtanium" material mined on Mars that are
offered by Snap-On

Could you use a 3/8 drive set with a 1/4 adapter?

I have several socket sets with adapters for different drivers.

No. the places I want to use the 1/4" drive crowfoot wrenches tend to be
restricted to where my 3/8 set doesn't want to go. It looks like instead of
a set, I will probably buy just the 3/8, 7/16, and 1/2" wrenches which will
probably meet 90% of my requirements.

thanks

I have had to purchase separate tubing wrenches , saw the end off and weld a
steel bar with the right position/ angels to get at some odd places over the
years. It might cost a few bucks but if it's in a tight spot you don't want
to have to tear something apart because you rounded off a nut or fitting.

Bob that certainly is an option and I have done that with one wrench but was
hoping I could find the 1/4" crowfoot set at a reasonable price and just
being lazy avoid building a couple more specials.
