Here's one I made a few years ago. That's a 1&1/4" wrench in there:
I've made one of these before, and very similar to this. Much safer than double wrenching it like I have seen some do.
The first time I saw such a tool was at my local auto-parts store.
What interested me most was that it was made by Chestnut Tools, a local off-shoot from Lee Valley Tools founder Leonard Lee.
You can still get that version here:

Their version had magnets to help hold the wrench.
Here are my versions:

Attachment 40637
Attachment 40638
Not pretty, but pretty useful when you need them.
The handle on the small one is 1" by 1/4" steel bar.
The big one uses 1" square tubing for the handle.
Both use cutoff scraps of steel angle.

A good length of ally pipe over the handle of the spanner, can sure snap the head off bolts, lots cheaper than that fancy widget.
Not criticising. I use a length of steel pipe for 26" wrench and also 3/4" ratchet. the other end has a section of RHS (box) welded for holding 5' & 6' mower blades. I think I posted on HMT but have moved house twice over past year and culled heaps (kept extender).
