What is "flank drive?" What does "flank drive" mean. I keep seeing this term on the Snap On website, especially in reference to wrenches and sockets. Then they also have "flank drive plus" wrenches? Thanks Jeff |
Flank drive means the wrench or socket use the flat areas of the nut or bolthead to loosen or tighten it , not the pointed corners like some tools do. Flank drives don't strip nuts and boltheads as easily . |
Cool... thanks for the help |
No prob. If you can spare the extra $$$$$, the flank drives sure save the skin on your knuckles plus save time not dealing with stripped crap! |
I once had a set of flank drive Snap On wrenches. They will even take of power steering lines that you can't even hardly get the wrench to. Best set of wrenches I ever had. Too bad someone found them too nice and had to steal them. :mad: If I was still working on my own car all the time, I'd have to get another set though. A+ rating in my book. |
Is there much of a difference between the "flank drive" and the "flank drive plus" (except for the extra $$$)? I am mostly curious about the 10 piece (10mm-19mm) combonation wrenches. |
Get the racheting flank drives , they work great in tight spots and, hands down , are one of the best tool investments I ever made! |

Flank drive is box end design, plus is improved open end design both pressuring the sides rather than the corners of bolts |
So basically they would be what most call a line wrench??? |
