Got a few of those floating around the toolbox. The greatly offset ones are essential on some jobs but damn hard chopping up an expensive spanner and you need some decent quality or they just spring apart and bugger up the hex on the thing you are trying to get out.
Extra long deep reach hex sockets with slots cut out of the sides are handy too.

I don't have a problem with heating and bending snap-on wrenches, to me the only thing snap on wrenches are good for is to make tools that don't exist out of, since they are too thin and slick to get a good grip. But never cut the box end of a snap-on open unless you absolutely need a very slim spanner to get into a tight spot and hope whatever you have to loosen is not over tightened because a cut open snap-on may as well have been chineseum the way they spring open.
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
You have reminded me of tools I made for woodturning. I do not know whether your box-end spanners can be hardenened and tempered? In the UK, they’re called ring spanners, and box spanners are tubes. I have used the tubes for all sorts of things, because their diameters often differ from usual stock sizes.
