crowfoot
Radial socket tool
Crowfoot refers to several plants with divided leaves resembling a bird's foot, especially buttercups and related species in the genus Ranunculus.
In nautical use, a crowfoot is an arrangement of small cords radiating from a single point, used to suspend awnings or distribute weight evenly.
The plural is crowfeet or crowfoots depending on context—crowfeet for wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes, crowfoots for the plants.
