I found several ''banana'' wrenches [or Half Moons] at a used tool shop.
I bought a range of sizes, 3/8 -- 5/16, 7//16 -- 1/2, 9/16 -- 5/8, 11/16 -- 3/4.
Curved wrenches with a different boxed 12 point size on each end.
Later, I bought a full set of Gear Wrench curved ratcheting speed wrenches, when Sears was still open.
Sometimes the box end of the speed wrench is to fat to fit into the application, though.
Heating and bending a wrench ruins its metal tempering.
They're also handy when working on alternators.
I'll try to shoot pix tomorrow.
Had a union meeting today.
