Definetly helps to install the last stubborn bolt that is very difficult to get to.

I dont know how we would have gotten the vacuum pump replaced without this wrench.  Even though it is a 12 point crow foot design we still had a bit of struggle with one nut.  All because of other stuff in the way, not any fault of the wrench.

      I spent 25 years maintaining light aircraft. While I did have to get adept at grappling with that bottom inboard mounting nut, only now that Im retired did I purchase this wrench - 25 years too late! It is a really helpful tool that should be in every tool cabinet.

On Lycoming 360 (180 HP) does work but you cannot tight the lower left 7/16 nut because the tools angle it is too long and touching the engine case that eventually start leaking oil.

Used once and wrench bent. Might be bad run of metal, but it was very weak.  Aircraft spruce replaced no questions asked.

It make work on some planes, but not my B model Bonanza 35. 
It did fit the nut (7/16) but the Handle  was too long, distance between opening for nut and first 90 bend was too great and sides of wrench too wide to turn the nut once you were on it. 
After hacksawing and grinding and using a crescent wrench to turn the wrench, I removed the stubborn top left nut. 
For me, waste of time and money.
