Swapped from a socket to a crow's foot on a CAT C15 top fuel line yesterday, cut 30 minutes off the job.
Thought a crow's foot would just be extra tool clutter but that 15 degree offset gave me the angle to break the fitting loose without pulling the whole injector harness off - has anyone else found a specific tool that changed how they tackle tight spots?

Wait you cut 30 minutes OFF a C15 top fuel line job with just a crow's foot? That's INSANE. I've fought those stupid injector harnesses for YEARS and never thought a simple angled socket would make that big a difference. I honestly thought crow's feet were just for people who couldn't afford proper tools but you're telling me that 15 degree offset actually lets you wiggle around the wiring without disconnecting everything? That's a game changer for these newer trucks where everything is packed in tighter than a sardine can. I'm going to have to grab one now because I've wasted HOURS fighting those top lines on 3406Es and C15s.

Heard a buddy of mine say the same thing, @abbyg60, he swore by those offset crow's feet for exactly this reason. Always figured it was just a gimmick till now.
