Yep...somewhere in my inventory is one that I purchased for a small fortune
from snap-on or mac or that other company..dont remember which.  I havent
seen it in several years.  The shocks I bought it for were so close to the
top I couldn�t get a socket in there anyway and ended up using open end
wrenches.  Seems I have some other tools like that as well.  Guarenteed to
work for everything except the job I buy them for.
