The uniformity of an electroless coating has two major advantages:
- Complete corrosion protection on interior surfaces
- Better fit in the wrench jaws because plating material does not accumulate at the jaw tips

Details
Optimized for Engagement
Our deep, 6-point design maximizes your contact with fittings and prevents slipping. The sizes of our flare nut crowfoot wrenches scale optimally with fitting depths to achieve the best possible combination of engagement, access, and strength.
Lean Design
Our design is leaner than conventional 6-point crowfoot wrenches, giving you more room to work in tight spaces.
Reinforced Jaw Strength
We reinforced our wrenches with material where it matters most to avoid high stress concentrations and prevent the jaws from spreading.
Part of a System of Access Wrenches
Tekton flare nut crowfoot wrenches have a 6-point opening and deep walls to maximize contact with fittings. They complement our other access wrenches, including crowfoot, service, and angle head wrenches.
15º Offset Increases Access Angles
The jaw opening is offset 15 degrees from the center of the wrench so that it can be flipped over to gain additional access angles.
Two Levels of Retention
Prevents Fastener Round-Off
Radiused corners help avoid fitting round-off by applying force to the fitting’s flat sides, rather than its corners.
Smooth, Satin Nickel Finish
The flare nut crowfoot wrenches are abrasive blasted to create a smooth, satin nickel finish.
Low Environmental Impact
Electroless nickel is a low environmental impact alternative to conventional hexavalent chrome plating. It uses a chemical reaction involving nickel and phosphorus and doesn't require the use and disposal of chromium.
Electroless Nickel Plating for Corrosion Resistance
The electroless nickel plating finish is easy to wipe clean and highly resistant to corrosion.
Uniform Coverage and Better Fit
The electroless process applies a uniform coating to the entire tool surface. By comparison, electroplating, including conventional chrome plating, has varying thickness across the tool because the plating thickness depends on the electric current density at each point on the tool.
Clear Size Markings
The wrench sizes are laser engraved on the side of each wrench with a large, permanent marking that’s easy to read.
Manufactured in Michigan
The flare nut crowfoot wrenches are made entirely in the USA with USA-sourced materials. Machining, broaching, blasting, plating, and engraving take place at our Grand Rapids, Michigan, manufacturing facility.
