"Drophead" spanner
21 Answers
I don't know the correct name for it but I am looking for an open-end spanner, one where the open end, instead of being in line with the rest of the spanner, is at a lower level. There is a right-angled bend in the handle, in fact. I want to operate in a recess which will not accept a straight spanner. The nut is at the end of a pipe so I can't use a socket. Does anyone understand my explanation, and is the item readily available? Thanks.

you could fill your boots here. seems expensive for a one off fiddly job though.

I have a problem with air in the fuel line which occurs intermittently. The air can be bled out (similar to bleeding the central heating boiler) by slightly slackening the nut on the injector pipe and cranking the engine. The presence of the pipe makes the use of a socket impossible. The job can be done with a straight spanner but is awkard.

AIBags is referring to these open ended ring spanners. http://www.drapertool...ut-spanners-3809-0000
Perhaps the op means these. http://www.drapertool...bstruction-3814-62337

Ah. Just noticed it was open ended spanners derrynoose was after. Maybe something like this. http://www.primetools...info.php?product=5543
If I've read this right...
Last time I needed to do something like this I used a standard offset spanner http://www.toolbargai...mm_448167-500x500.jpg And ground a split in the ring part to enable it to be slipped over the pipe.
