What's the right name for a kind of box wrench

Winston Smith · 2006-07-28T21:07:49+00:00

I'm going nuts trying to think of the right name for these things.They are not offset wrenches, they bend the other axis. They are likeS shaped wrenches but they are U shaped. (U shaped doesn't Google butS shaped does.)Picture a common flat box wrench. You turn it so hard the shaftbends. Do the same thing at both ends so you get a U shaped shaftwhere you can look through the two boxes while you see the U shaft.I 'think' one use is adjusting alternator mounting or other such on acar.Thanks--W§ mostly in m.s -
