Such a wrench is available from many different manufacturers. Anyone who
has had to pull a VW engine knows how valuable they are for removing the
top passenger side engine mounting bolt, the one behind the oil
cooler.... They aren't made for torquing a nut, but they are handy and
quick for removing nuts with little space in which to work, and good for
drawing up the same very quickly.
Cheers.
