A valid option...however, I have always disliked crow foot wrenches for some reason. I was given a set (Birthday? Xmas? I always got nice tool sets as gifts. When you have 3 gen of mechanics in the family, it's what they do) when I started out as an aircraft mech...never once used them (now they're gone) I just ordered the distributor wrench from Snyder's.

Now that I think about it, I remember getting 5 full sets of crow foot wrenches for installing fuel tubing into Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. We only needed a couple of sizes but the stupid supervisor on 2nd shift turned in the request...and got the full sets from Snap-on. I guess it wasn't his money!
