Title: Found another double ratcheting flare nut wrench!
Post by: bonneyman on August 12, 2013, 01:58:36 PM: Since stumbling upon the smaller wrench a few years ago, I've been keeping my eyes open for the next bigger double wrench. And today I found one! Cleaned up nice, and will just soak it in solvent before I put it to work.
Guess now I'll have to find the next two bigger sizes and complete the set.

They are not common, I have come across only one in the last few years, and the fellow wanted more than I was willing to give him for it....

I offered $2, he said $5, and I didn't even haggle!

I've never seen the double opening one.
