Only an idea. I used to keep a few old rad valve heads on the van but now I use an adjustable.

Its a pain in the bum, a rechargeable screw driver with a suitable socket on the end might do the trick, I just suffer and swear saying things like

you know what ben gee, it crossed my mind ...but we are full up until this time next year
it costs up to £50,000 per project before any return and we have three at present. Tum is ok now paying for itself but Tum 2 is lurking around its scary but I like it.
nice idea ben gee you do it I will help you no problem foc as well

Mebbe one of these? Really handy for a lot of jobs anyway so not just for people who need to save 8 seconds opening or shutting a rad valve

That was what I was talking about above I suppose, and it is ideal. but its not the 8 secs is it, there can be damage to the wheel head and also to the wall
and to do a proper drain down and flush etc with 12 rads say a number of times off and on it gets very wearing. esp if you have arthritic hands as I do after 40 years ...I dont fit anymore I design but just done a 9 rad system in my new gaff myself over the weekend and yes my hands are suffering

drivel sometimes magic other times I know regards Rob Foster
Monument do a grip + range that fits in the end of their tap spanner, well worth a look as they do some really useful attachments
hvac wrench should work
Link please
Is that a wrench that is a ratchet?
Laser 2856 Socket Survivor - Machine Mart - Machine Mart How about one of these types of sockets
A simple one but as I power flush all the time.
The old fashioned cross tap head will fit. The ones from 30 years ago and are strong. The taps that are square at the base that use to go in the old twyfords basins. If I come across them I always keep the heads. I have also used in the past the handle of an outside tap. But it’s made of brass so not as durable.
Hope the suggestions help.
