Six-point Double Box End Wrenches Exist?

[oldschoolcraft]

Is there any 6 point double box end wrenches on the market? Would like 0, 15, and maybe 45 degree offset versions with two sizes on each end in 6 point. Or maybe a single size, where one side is 15 degrees is and the other side is 45 degrees.

Brake bleeder wrenches are the only ones I've seen that come in double box end 6-point that I've seen and they come in limited sizes. Also they dont seem to come in 0 or 15 degrees.

Through my research I found Napa Carlyle and Snap On both make combination wrenches with 6 point ends, but I dont really need yet another wrench with the same open end on the other side.

Snap-on appears to have only these two 6PT DBE wrenches in their current (online) catalog.

15 mm x 13 mm

14 mm x 12 mm

Other sizes were offered in years past. For example, I have a 1/2" x 9/16" low-offset wrench in 6PT.

Building out good SAE and metric sets of these has been a back-burner item on my to-do list for a few years already. Will be interested to see how the search goes for you.

Don't forget 6 and 12 point S shaped wrenches and half moon style. Handy for unusual places under the car.

Really? Everything I've seen on the forums is that they are kind of useless, and people who have bought them just in case, never used them.

They're one of the things that are useless 95% of the time, but that other 5%, either the only thing that works or they make a job a million times easier.

Your spare bedroom must be a sight to behold. You should make a YouTube tour video.

Snap-On used to make 6 point double box end wrenches. I'm pretty sure they were only available in SAE and they're long, long discontinued. But they do show up on ebay.

I have sets from KTC, Nepros and Snapon - all metric. The Snapon set is combination open end and 6 pt box end.

S-K and Duro Indestro both made six point double box end wrenches.

Many obstruction wrenches are special purpose, such as starters, manifolds, exhaust, distributors, head bolts, suspension, etc. Some are specific to certain years and applications, some are multi purpose. I have found the s shaped wrenches very handy, especially the old offset ones, on many occasions. The same with half moon wrenches. I have a drawer with nothing but obstruction wrenches. They are far too useful to ignore.

I always thought a 6-point double box end offset wrench with the same size on each end would be cool, then you could make the 2 ends clocked differently that way if one end's 6-point design is hitting on something you could swap it around for the opposite clocking position and have the same access as a 12-point.

How about 4-way angle wrenches, but with 6-point box ends instead of open ends?
