I've spent a good chunk of my life dreaming up something similar. But not got to a sensible solution.

Not sure that this is for any bolt which is tight, I can see it work with new bolts, but then if you're using new bolts then use the right spanner

Problem is that the best use for this tool is where space is very tight and you can only get a 1/12 turn on the spanner within the space available. So you turn it 1/2 flat, turn the spanner over, another 1/2 flat, and continue. However in such a situation, I'm not convinced you would get that head anywhere near the nut or screw.

Not a big fan of adjustables, the right spanner for the job is always a better option, but I seem to have accumulated a few.

I think it was tech colledge decades ago, a teacher used to go mad if you brought in an adjustable spanner....no no no, right spanner for the bolt was his mantra,
Funnily enough, spanners are my job and I rarely ever ever use an adjustable, perhaps his words stuck.
