Armstrong 279-A Right Angle Offset Socket Wrench is a compact, 6-point tool with a built-in right-angle offset head that lets you engage hex fasteners in cramped or recessed locations where a straight wrench won’t reach. The description notes a 2-3 16 inch offset, informing clearance when routing the drive toward hard-to-access bolts while preserving a full 6-point hex contact for secure torque. In practice, the 279-A offers an accessible solution for technicians performing repairs in confined spaces, where a traditional straight socket wrench would struggle to reach and where offset geometry provides improved maneuverability in tight automotive and mechanical work.
