Looking for 1/2 stubby reversible ratcheting non-offset wrench

[sanddrag]

I'm looking for a 1/2" stubby length reversible ratching non-offset (flat) wrench, and coming up short-handed. Does such a thing exist? Who makes one?

If such a thing does not exist, any recommendations for a 1/2" reversible stubby flex head?

I have a set of them from Autozone made by Duralast and they are actually pretty nice tools. http://www.autozone.com/wrenches-pl...st-1-2-in-stubby-ratcheting-wrench/560452_0_0

The specs on that one say 15 degree offset. Is that what you meant that you couldn't find it on their site? edit: you edited

OP buy a cheapie reversible offset & a blue wrench will do wonders to set the angle anywhere you want

Good to know about the Duralast ones that may be available locally. I also came across some Blackhawk ones. The 15 degree offset is specifically what I'm trying to avoid.

I'm beginning to become convinced that what I'm looking for doesn't exist.

Yea I edited because I found the 1/2". Mine are not offset but they are 10+ years old so they may have changed them.

Could you not just buy a super cheap regular length ratcheting wrench and just cut it down to the size you need?

Are there reversible STRAIGHT wrenches in regular length even?

I think the only way you will accomplish the 0 degree offset is to buy a stubby reversible flex head. https://store.snapon.com/Flex-Head-...-Box-Open-End-Wrench-Blue-Point--P647151.aspx

I haven't seen a reversible ratcheting wrench that doesn't have the 15 degree boxed end offset. Why can't you get buy with a regular flat stubby nonreversible ratcheting wrench?

That's about as perfect as I think I'm going to get. Thanks for the direct link. I'm using this in a custom application, not as a wrench, but as part of a cable-winding mechanism, that needs to be able to unspool after winding up.
