Re: [AMC-list] wacky wrench needed -- BOX END 12 point crow's foot 1/2" drive

[Wrambler <wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

1st place I'd look is the source of the studs, ask them.
second choice I would buy a semi good quality box end wrenchn (or socket) and cut the end as needed to fit, then weld a 1/2" drive nub on it.
  There are formulas to figure out the torque multiplication factor when doing this as I'm sure you know.
