hmm it's starting to look like an "offset combination spanner", but then with the wrong end offset (set off?), and at an unusual angle. I also can't seem to find any online references to similar tools English language websites

socket combination spanner it also sort of looks like one of these, but then with the end bit welded instead of flexible:

Michael Beijer (asker) May 12, 2020:

thanks everyone! so, my spanner seems to be a "crowfoot spanner", but with a "ring spanner" at the other end instead of the usual adapter for a "tommy bar" (as per e.g. https://www.eurafco.com/eng/crowfoot-spanner-with-tommy-bar-... ).

witout the angle, it would be called a "combination spanner/wrench"

see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrench
https://hubpages.com/education/Types-of-Spanners-Expored

I am therefore not entirely satisfied with translating it as only "crowfoot spanner/wrench".

Barend should post the answer so we can agree @Barend, please post crowfoot spanner as your answer to this Kudoz quesion.

Greg Irving (X) May 12, 2020:

hmm, following the breadcruumbs my research so far:

haakse steeksleutel = klauwsleutel = Klauenschlüssel = pronged wrench (???)

but, of course, the other side is different, as you mentioned, so not sure really

Michael Beijer (asker) May 11, 2020:

yeah, I know I've seen various descriptive versions in English online, but was wondering if there is a standard(ish) term for one

Barend van Zadelhoff May 11, 2020:

Yes there is:

A 'haakse steeksleutel' is also called a 'klauwsleutel'.

The one in your document is not typical.

In fact, it is a 'ringsleutel' on one side and a [haakse] 'steeksleutel' on the other side.
