Sorry I wasn't clearer initially with my description. It appears the wrench
is still available from SnapOn. The very long URL is below. If that doesn't
work, it's p/n B1351A, and it lists for $25.00. Money well spent, IMHO!

The wrench overall is slim but is 8.5" long (little bit of leverage for
slightly obstinate adjusters), and the "jaws" on each end are approximately
1/4" thick. The 3/16" side has a jaw "depth" of about 15/32" and the 1/4"
side depth is about 9/16". This works on all the Herald-based cars' rear
drums (and Herald front drum adjusters) and TR3A and later rear brake
adjusters. It might work on the earlier 10" Girling rear drums of the 3/3A,
but I've not had occasion to work on those.
