lost a couple that were very dear to me... My Dad have given then to me at least 30 yrs ago(pre Chinese junk)
this set was 9/16-1/2 and 7/16-3/8
they were a deep offset and not typical 60* but more of a 90*
typical google searches dont come up with anything like them.

I have always had a thing for offset wrenches. They remind me of working on cars with my Dad, he had a set of Hazets from the 50's that he always used. Here is my set of metric, a mix of Hazet, Facom, SK and Craftsman. I also have some sets in SAE.

OP - I think 80 degree offset is the greatest I've seen in tools of this type, this is a matte chrome hazet

could be but if you look at the attachment point of the box portion to the flank on the one you pictured its further away meaning it wont be able to turn in as tight of a recess

most of those pictured by Blockw@rt are what design Im talking about.
it has a shorter radius so its able to get into a smaller recess.

I have a wide variety of random deep offsets from Gray Canada, KD, Craftsman, Mac and Stahlwille, but for some reason, never use them.

Most european tools are built to common archetypes, eg this one marke DIN 838 ISO is by Beta. A quick google seems to inidcate they are all built to 75 degree offset, although each oem has a different take on it. Maybe some other folks will know more. Good luck with your search regardless...

anybody know where i can get a deep offset 21mm-22mm box wrench in 60 or 75 degrees offset? the only ones i could find were the schwaben one for ~$15 or hazet/stwahwille for ~$35.

It doesn't meet your criteria (at all) for one 21-22 mm wrench.. but I'd buy these and never look back... Could be easier if you didn't need the 21.

I have the set and they have a nicer fit/finish than any of my other wrenches (including snappy and sk)

I have Stahlwille Stabil 20’s and Carlyle’s in metric and Blackhawk, Riverside and Mac in SAE.

The Stahlwille’s were on sale very cheap right before Covid. A lot of GJ members have them.

I like them all except the Riverside. They are pretty worn. I bet they were fine when they were new.
