looking for 1/4 12pt or 6pt long wrench (about 8-10 inches long). preferably like the "boeing wrenches." does anybody know if you can order online tools from the surplus store outside of seattle at the boeing field. i have the snap on one but too short. thanks for your help in advance

I've got a great 1/4 - 5/16 box end that's about 10" long that's from snap-on.. Great for breaking the torque on C flanges on PT6's.. Not sure if this might be like what you are looking for..

I got a set of them snap on spline wreches off ebay for cheap 1/4 up to 5/8 i think. and ya they are great for case bolts on engines where you need a thin side wall because the bolts are so close to flanges and the sides of the case..

I have the snap-on box end 7/32 to 1/4 about 6 or 8 inches long, but if thats still too short, buy the crappy tire maximum 1/4 twelve point and extend it using the standard TIG method. (a fraction of the price compared to snap-on)

Got the same Snap-On 10" 1/4, 5/16 12 point box end wrench. Hadiest thing ever. Flange bolts on just about any turbine engine. Best 40 bucks ever spent(F%#'n Snap-on)) other than that night is singapore.
Cheers!!
