Where can I find 23mm box end with no offset?

[Bolster]

Anybody know where I can find a 23mm box end wrench with no offset? Flat from the handle to the box end?

I think I have a snap on 0* offset wrench that is made like this..... special order from my local neighborhood dealer.

I'd buy a C-man wrench and bend the offset out of it.

Facom makes one:

I wouldn't mind picking up a 10-19mm set of these

Snap On has no offset wrenches. I have a set

The Facom looks good. I was unable to find a Snap-on zero offset like that. All I could find was zero offset ratcheting, and for my application I can't use ratcheting.

The Gearwrench set of 5 has a 23mm that is a double boxed with a ratcheting end. No offset. I like the set.

Can't find them for the life of me on their site. Would you happen to have a part number or a name I could look up?

Also, are they combination or are they box on both ends or what?

... and for my application I can't use ratcheting.

To quote myself: I can't use a ratcheting for this application.

So far, that Facom is the only option!

I believe these are the ones being talked about, although they skip 23mm. Don't know what the deal is with having them under "high performance/spline"

What is this aforementioned "application"?

The Gearwrench brand 23mm double box wrench that was mentioned previously in this thread will work for you. One end is ratcheting, but the other is fixed/non-ratcheting.

Found it:

Now I just need to find something decent that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

i dont think SO make 23mm.

Why dont you just buy 23mm off set wrench and heat it up then bent it?

Most of the Euro tool companies make this type of wrench, In the US look up a web site for a company called Metric Multi Standard Components Corp. and in their catalog they will show these. This is the catalog page they show them on http://www.metricmcc.com/catalog/Ch4/4-414.pdf
This company sells everything Metric from fasteners to fittings tools and they are very good to deal with, I'm sure this wrench is in stock at many of their locations.

Holding an X3 mill spindle while you tighten/loosen the draw bolt. A 23mm fits the spindle nicely. The offset on my 23mm SO drives me crazy, I fiddle with it every time, trying to figure out which way it should go on...

Didn't mention it previously because the conversation would have become "what are other ways to hold a spindle" or "is holding a spindle important" or "where was your mill made" and I know how I want to do it!!

Beautiful. Reasonably priced? If so, where can I get them?

I'm surprised that Toptul doesn't make one of these. That was where I went first to find one. They would be my first choice. I have an older catalog--maybe you could email Mike and see if they have one available?

Gedore has a 21x23mm version

Hazet too
