Ratcheting Flare Wrench From VIM Tools demo

Demo of the RFW150 (Ratcheting Flare Nut Wrench Set) from ‪@vimtoolsinc‬ shows how it bites on all 6 sides.

Let try it first then I'll think about buying it😊

[@bfelinemaximus]

Williams (owned by SNA) makes them as well.

Was just questioning the functioning of these today on the tool truck

[@KoonTrucking]

They are pretty cool

[@jonspink4035]

@@KoonTrucking i was wondering if they had a tendency to round off the fittings

[@hemi08911]

They look awesome but they also look bulky azz hell.

[@fester1957]

To reverse it, do you have to turn it over or does not appear to be a reverse lever?

[@BassWhoopinFishingTeam]

Well yeah… the teeth are machined in only one direction. I would assume this is mainly meant for extracting a rounded out fastener. Cant see these replacing sockets for installation of fasteners anytime soon

[@KoonTrucking]

Just flip them over works the same way to ratchet them on.

[@JoeJalopy]

Also consider Tribus ratcheting flare nut wrench made in Ohio. Have to rotate the ratchet part to release, though.

[@KoonTrucking]

They are out of business. No longer made.

[@JoeJalopy]

@@KoonTrucking Did not know that, thanks. I have a metric set from them and used it.

[@RespectAllFearNone]

What is this product called, who sells it?

[@KoonTrucking]

VIM Tools RFW150

[@victorhoyt4352]

It would be so dope if it had a secondary drive on there, a spot to stick an extension like a spring-loaded crows foot.

Is there a link.

It overlaps so its not going to come open.....both times it opens. How about we use the products the right way so they dont do that in the demo, or uou actually show the demo?? Can we start this trend? DO IT AND SHOW IT!? fuck guys c'mon

[@KoonTrucking]

How do you figure it comes open when it’s used. When pressure is applied to it the overlap won’t allow it to spread. It has to open for it to ratchet genius if not it couldn’t ratchet around the line.

[@timothymunz929]

are you dumb or stupid? it opens a miniscule amount in one direction so it can ratchet, but it doesn't in the other for actually working the fastener. it isn't that hard to understand.
