Nope, see Rick Ewald's prior e-mail for a better explanation; I almost
bought a set of crowsfeet at autozone the other day. A crowsfoot doesn't
have any more sides (usually) than any other open end wrench; the
difference is in the way it is driven (ratchet). The five flat type of
wrench mentioned above I have some of, mostly in smaller sizes, and they're
handy for doing B-nuts (no pun intended) and bleeder screws (easy to round
off). What are those called, anyway?

Crowsfeet starting around the eyes but none in the toolbox yet,
