I have not had much success with the "no-slip" wrenches. I found that if
you have 2 good corners, they sometimes work, but I also broke one trying
to free a stuck bolt.
If you are able to get a socket on it, but don't have room for the ratchet,
try using a wrench adapter. I have had much success using these in tight
spots. I can't find an example online but I bought a set are Sears many
years ago. Basically just t little adapter that goes in the drive end of
the socket in place of a ratchet or breaker bar. Is has a hex head that is
very thin that allows you to get on it with a wrench. Or two. Or a 4'
length of pipe over the handle of a wrench.
