google for "thin head wrench"
Lowes and Home Depot have them.

The 6 and 7mm are 2.2 mm thick (1/4 and 5/16 in SAE), the 8-11mm are 
2.6mm - those are a tenth of an inch thick, roughly.


or "ignition wrench" - same sort of thing - about 1/16" thick for the 
small ones.


I used to buy 5/16" (fits SMA) double open end wrenches in lots of 10, 
because we'd lose them.  You'd put one in your pocket, and forget about 
it, or it would be on your desk, then get buried.
