It seems like what is needed is a new type of tool, with a right angle on the end, and a screw pushing the other grip towards the right angle one. Uh, don't they call those monkey wrenches? Maybe they have another name for the small ones. -- FF

Aha! The tool could have monkey-wrench planiform with a locking-grip (vice-grip TM) mechanism combining the best features of both tools. So, who wants to do the patent search? -- FF
