We offer four types of wrenches designed for versatile access in tight spaces—crowfoot wrenches, flare nut crowfoot wrenches, service wrenches, and angle head wrenches. They won’t replace your go-to combination wrenches, but when working on equipment in confined areas—especially around hydraulic lines and manifolds—these wrenches are indispensable.
Tight access requires precision, so small differences in jaw angle, handle length, and head thickness matter. Each wrench excels in different scenarios, but they all share a similar manufacturing process in Michigan, with most of the steps taking place in-house at our Grand Rapids facility.
Key Advantages of Each Wrench
Crowfoot Wrenches
Tekton crowfoot wrenches are ultra-compact and designed to pair with a ratchet, which lets you set the wrench head to any angle. Add an extension to maintain its small swing radius and access recessed areas where other wrenches won’t fit or get enough swing clearance. You can also use them with a torque wrench. They’re not the fastest wrenches to turn, but sometimes they’re the only ones that will fit.
Flare Nut Crowfoot Wrenches
Tekton flare nut crowfoot wrenches can fit over hard line tubing and get five points of engagement on soft metal fittings, rather than two points of engagement with regular open end crowfoot wrenches. They have a leaner jaw for better access when fittings are crowded together, and deep walls for added strength. They can also be used with a ratchet and extension or a torque wrench.
Service Wrenches
Tekton service wrenches excel in situations with medium access and are fast and efficient to turn fittings by hand. They have a 15º angled head and short handle with a drive square at the end. Pair them with a ratchet and extension or a torque wrench for more versatility. They have the thinnest and and leanest jaws of any open end wrench we offer, allowing them to squeeze between tightly-spaced fittings.
