Looking for a manufacture of a low profile pneumatic torque wrench. Needed for 7/16" socket. (25 to 50 in-lbs. torque) Looking for something with no more than a 1" profile to fit into a tight space?
Socket can be ground down if needed.

right angle would be fine. We have all 3 tools here.
Crowfoot might just work. The only problem I have(that I should have stated originally) was that we have 2 x 1/4" bolts 5/8" apart and the overall width of the crowfoot would be an issue. I suppose we could machine an extension of the hex shape so the bolt wouldn't actually fit into the crowfoot head but would fit into the extension.

Thanks Cory. Might have to get a sample of the F30L8 and give it a try.

other ideas are still welcome.
 
Found what I needed from Cooper/Cleco/Gradner-Denver (after weeding through an 82 page catalog). Similar to the crowfoot they have a ratcheting clutch type pneumatic torque wrench with extended hex adapters that would eliminate me having to machine an extension for a crowfoot.
page 54 if anyone else is looking for a similar tool.

Now if I can just beat the engineer who designed such a tight space.. Oh wait that was me.. Sometimes there is just nothing you can do.
