offset wrench/spanner Explanation: Cheungmo got in there before me, but here are photos of "clé contre-coudée" and of "offset spanners" to compare. Points to Cheungmo! After having checked the GDT which gave “offset wrench” for “clé coudée”, I did a search for “contre-coudé”. I found an “écarteur”, “ciseau” and so on, but nothing helpful for “clé contre-coudé”, unless as you say there was mention of its being “polygonale” or “mixte”. When you look at this, http://www.achard-sa.fr/inox.htm, you will see that “contre-coudé” is used to describe a bend in one direction followed by a bend in the other direction. Here is a series of photos of different types of spanners, some of which are “contre-coudée” - http://fr.usagshop.com/product_list.asp?PageNo=PL_USAG2D . You will see that it corresponds to an “offset wrench/spanner”, not necessarily “ring spanner” though, although off offset spanners, it is the most common. http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:fuazg79f3ZY:maintena.mu...
