Some bolt kits give you a 13mm head for the end bolts and give you a little more room to swing the crow's foot, but this seems like a better solution. I wonder if they have it in 13mm too? Maybe it'd help with the pesky power steering bolts?
Yes they do, the 10 is just the only one I needed, so the only one I got. They are actually in a set of four.

I think it is 10 12 13 and 14. They are around 50 bucks a piece I think, but they do the job well, and they are warrantied their hole life.
