extra long 13x15 flat ring spanner

that's right, I said spanner. :D  got this through ebay from a place in England for less than local.  instantly one of my favorite tools :D  got it specifically for use on tensioner pulleys when there isn't enough clearance for a socket wrench (and that happens a lot these days in new cars).  Makes it a breeze to install the belt on our Liberty CRD. :banana:  (and that's up from being the most difficult I've ever had to deal with).

I could have used one of those in 7mm yesterday when changing out my tired old front air dam w/o removing the bumper.  :thumbsup:

I like it.  I have some old craftsman box end wrenches with the two sizes on one wrench.  Normal length, but the 1/2" / 9/16 is really handy for battery maintenance.  I use military style top post terminals, 1/2" for tightening to the battery post and 9/16" for the cable connection.

I could have used one of those in 14mm a couple months ago when I was changing this ladie from works alternator... took me an hour just to get a wrench on the tensioner pulley at a good enough angle to loosen the belt. I hate newer cars for how tight the engine bays are. Only took me 20 minutes to change the alternator and get the belt back on once I got it off.
