Our electroless nickel plating process applies a uniform, corrosion resistant coating to the entire tool surface.
Most of the steps, including machining, broaching, blasting, plating and engraving, take place at Tekton's manufacturing facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan.. 3/8 Inch Drive x 18 mm 6-Point Flare Nut Crowfoot Wrench The wrenches are abrasive blasted to create a smooth, satin finish.â¢Optimized for Engagement, Access, and Strength â Our deep, 6-point design maximizes your contact with fittings and prevents slippingâ¢Reinforced Jaw Strength â We reinforced our wrenches with material where it matters most to avoid high stress concentrations and prevent the jaws from spreadingâ¢15-Degree Offset Increases Access Angles â The jaw opening is offset 15 degrees from the center of the wrench so that it can be flipped over to gain additional access anglesâ¢Electroless Nickel Plating for Corrosion Resistance â The electroless nickel plating finish is easy to wipe clean, highly resistant to corrosion, and has a low environmental impact compared to conventional hexavalent chrome platingâ¢Uniform Coverage and Better Fit â The electroless plating process applies a uniform coating to the entire tool surface; by comparison, electroplating, including conventional chrome plating, has varying thickness across the tool because the plating thickness depends on the electric current density at each point on the toolâ¢Manufactured in Michigan â Tekton flare nut crowfoot wrenches are made entirely in the USA with USA-sourced materials; most of the steps, including machining, broaching, blasting, plating and engraving, take place at Tekton's manufacturing facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan Each crowfoot wrench has a permanent high-contrast size marking engraved on the side.
