Looking for a flat/thin profile 17mm wrench that can be bent similar to the one in the photo. Pretty sure I saved this from some crap IKEA furniture set for some reason. But this would be perfect if it was 17mm. You may be able to see my dilemma in the photos.

You think this would work?

Can't really tell what you are trying to do but maybe a crow's foot would work.

You are going to need to modify a spanner wrench or get a crows foot with a flex head ratchet. Buy everything on amazon. Return what you don't need. I dot this all the time. Even multiple brands of the same tool will be slightly different.


Or in your case you might want a crows foot with an offset ratchet extension and a fixed breaker bar on the end of it all.

And the breaker bar or ratchet on it.

Hard to see exactly how much room you have so you'll need to experiment.


This is a classic 5 minute job that will take 3 days.

Wondering what you're working on. Looks like a motorcycle frame, maybe European with that Torx looking subframe bolt?

I have bought a cheap thin profile wrench before and grinder it down to the thickness needed. Works better with open end than box end. Painful to damage a new tool to make it what you need but if it has to be thin…

+1 on trying Amazon and returning what doesnt work. Some other options, not open end though.

I actually ordered one just like this but it was 16" long. It almost worked, but it was just a little too beefy to slip in (that's what she said).

I think this "Euro wrench" just might work assuming I can bend it. It is a British motorcycle, so may be on to something here. Would like to see if I can find this on Amazon but no luck so far.
