    they do make thin wrenches, or did make for carburator use on american cars,about 1/8 to 3/16 thick..but usually when i need two wrenches of the same size most of the time i can use a socket on one end and a combination wrench on the other.this is the way my vehicle tool bags are,u cant carry every tool u want in your vehicle,,i hate using adjustable /cresent wrenches,they always fit too loose and slip off too easily,now for light duty use stanley does make a locking adjustable wrench ,,china crap, but it does work ,just go easy with it, not a heavy duty tool..also vise grip makes a locking pliers with 3 flats for locking on nut and bolt hexs,usable if u can fit it in place,it was 5-7 years a go when i first heard of Obamas OSHA nazis making their rounds, and some one on a site wanted to know if anyone had seen a factory made cheater pipe to fit over his 1/2 ratchet he could use at work.last machine shop i worked at was perparing to do that when i was laid off.go through every ones tool boxs and make them put all welded, ground on, heated and bent,and "mutilated" tools in their vehicles to take home and never bring them back.thats the way it is in auto repair,,plenty of factory made tools to get in tight places when fixing a vehicle.specialty tools are a big business.so when u have to spend 30$ or more on a specialty wrench to do one thing ,,u can thank obama for lightening your wallet.just like when u have to fight with a gas can to get it to pour ,,same thing thank obama!!!
