I finally identified this special tool I searched for over eight months in an effort to locate a purchase point of contact or identify the correct part number of item 4! I'm getting ready to torque my Speed Decreaser Gear (SDG) mounting bolts in a really tight spot. My Maintenance Manual calls for a "offset tool 90º geared drive" and describes this arrangement (shown in the diagram below) for reaching in and torqueing the bolts, but does not clearly identify item number 4 (as shown in the diagram) by part number or manufacturer. It appears to be a 90º gear drive extension. I've checked with various tool shops and tool suppliers and all I get is a 'blank stare'. I've also 'Googled' every phrase I can think of again without success. Do you have any idea who sells this tool? Thanks to all who suggested I try tools by CalVan, Sidewinder, and Skew Products. I ordered the Blackhawk tool and am exploring the possibility of removing the handle to add a female 'square drive' (so I can attach my torque wrench) Thanks to Tom (a fellow retired Navy Chief), I've finally located the correct wrench.
