Harbor Freight has their version of an offset wrench and probably fairly economical if it’s like most of the rest of their tools.

Thanks for reply Acogoff, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
As clearance never seems to change I think it is what it is.

I'd be curious to know how much the clearance opened after TDC. I believe that was your initial concern.

Go BILLS!

Hard to believe the fired the coach.  And worse for it, the Denver QB broke his ankle on the big PI. 

Too many injuries and too many games for the good of the sport IMO

Did anyone bother to click on the link? This isn't something one could just fire up the torch and bend a straight wrench to make.

Thank you for checking the actual tool out.

My point / purpose in asking about it was. In an RV our size there is no extra room for vices, grinders, or torch equipment. When we go off grid and boondock we are often 20- 50 miles or more away from any city that even has a NAPA or decent Hardware store. Having a tool like this that can get to places you can’t with normal tools could save $100s in remote service calls or towing expenses besides saving a lot of time waiting to be rescued. If I can get a part off but can’t repair it one of our Guzzis can take me some place for a repair /replacement part.

I put the post up to find out if anyone had experience with them, the prices vary so I’m sure the quality must also.

The only reservation I ever have with those things is not being in a position to brake suddenly and effectively in an emergency.
I know that most of your braking on our type of bikes is with the front, but it just seems an erosion of the safety buffer. But they do look well made.
