I had the same experience with my Moss-supplied wrench at (naturally) a 
very inconvenient time & place.  I now have a cheapo 3/8" ratchet and 
suitable socket that I carry instead -- much stronger than that repro 
wrench.  I didn't know that that square head on the jack was Whitworth 
but whatever SAE or metric socket I tried worked just fine.
