The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Tool Chest finally got to use one

over the years i have put together a couple of nice sets of crowsfoot wrenches and crowsfoot line wrenches. well for the first time i actually used one. i was taking the door hinges off a hudson and 2 of the bolts recessed inside a acess hole in door and behind the window channel.
sorry you pro mechanics may think it's silly but i just had to "crow" about it. i was starting to think i had wasted my money.

I agree that they are not used much, but they sure do come in handy when you need them. Saves on that frustration and cursing that would normally follow not being able to remove that door. Keep on crowing!

I used them a lot on aircraft, specificly where you needed to torqu fittings like hydro/pneumatic lines, explosives with wire leads, etc. Occasionaly used the "dog-bones" too. There's been an occasion or two I could have used a set when building up a motor, cant always get a torque wrench and a socket in some of those tight spots
