I have been looking with no results for a 3/8'' six point wrench that is straight, no 15 degree offset. A long version would be even better but not required. Any finish is fine. Any suggestions? A combo wrench, or even a double box will work as long as there is no offset. Thanks for the help.

Snap On makes 0° offset box end wrenches, but they are 12 point.

Another option is to make your own. Find a 6 point wrench heat it and bend it to what you want (straighten it). You could also weld to it to make it longer.

Does is have to be fixed or will a ratcheting wrench work? If so, check out SK X-frame.

SK's new ratcheting wrenches are longer as mentioned above. Also, the older laminated, original, ratcheting wrenches can be found in straight versions. Offset wrenches aren't bent to be parallel to the handle at a distance from the handle. That may be helpful to your desires as well.

keep your eyes peeled for the right long-pattern, and un-bend it straight.

These are hen's teeth ! I have been looking for reasonably priced (used) long pattern DBE for months. The few I find are all 12 point and people must think they are made of unobtainium !

This could be cut out of 3/8" or 1/2" flat bar on a water jet in about 5 minutes ! A bit of deburring, chamfer the edges and boom !

Can they be ratcheting? And what do you define as long pattern?

that is better than the 15 degree offset wrenches, but I will hold out for a straight wrench for now. I did find a tekton ratcheting 3/8'' 6 point straight handle. If I cant find a non ratcheting version, I may give it a try.
Thanks for the help and ideas.
