OT Where to find this wrench(s)

[becksmachine]

Does anybody have any ideas where to find this style crowfoot flarenut wrench?

As part of the ongoing backhoe restoration project, the owner of the backhoe has supplied the pictured wrench for use on the fittings/hoses coming out of the valve bodies. I have some new Armstrong supposedly equivalent units that are way too flexible, they just spring open and skip across the flats, but this one is much more rigid.

I would like to find a set of these but so far have not been able to find them anywhere. All the major brands I have looked at Martin, Snap On, Matco, Proto etc. are the thin wall unrigid, corner rounding junk I already have. The owner of the backhoe says he bought this one from the Case dealer 20-30 years ago and this is the only one he has or ever seen.

Can't see the picture Dave, but I have an old set of SnapOn flarenut/line wrench crowsfeet(?) that are very thick walled.
I haven't spread them yet

They look somewhat like the ones in the link below, but heavier:

It would be really nice to know what size nut it is supposed to fit. Could you share that or is it a secret?

Here's mine and the chrome one is Snap On. I think Snap On makes 12 point also. You can look for Matco, OTC and Williams.

Ok, the wrench in the photo is 1-1/4 inch but I would like a set from 1/2"-3/4" in 3/8 drive and 3/4"-1-1/2" in 1/2" drive. OR whatever is available.

And please notice the example is 12 point not 6 point.

Yep, that's why I posted both. You can get by with the 6 point by flipping them for each movement. Done that a lot. Check the companies I listed, they may have what you need.

My 12 point is 1 1/4" and the only 12 point I have and it's 3/8" drive. I think Williams is the best or at least they used to be.

Never had a crowfoot returned due to rounding the corners on a nut. Buy one from the local dealer with the understanding if the wrench failed to do the job you can return the wrench. Yes I still fly the flag for the best tools on the market. Jim

Lets see if this works. Yep, go to page 20 at the bottom and you will find a 12 pt 1 1/4". Call Landmesser and ask them about it. When I was a diesel mech. I bought a lot of tools from them.

Opps, excuse me, I just found the size on it and mine is a 1 5/16" but the 1 1/4" nut seemed to fit ok but it fits a 1 5/16" much better.

Can recommend Stahlwille, made in Germany.

Just search for crow-foot or crow-ring.
