adjustable tie rod end "special" wrench / socket

Guys, I hope you know what I am referring to...
Years ago, I had a socket that had a flat vs. an actual "socket". The "flat" looked like a large screwdriver blade.
This was specifically for adjusting the end of a rebuildable tie rod.
Here's the questions:
1) What the heck is the term for this?
2) Where might I obtain one?

Thanks guys.

For anyone that fancies making a tool to do the job, here's one I made from a broken bolster chisel.

Pic 1 shows a chisel like the one I used (but bigger)

I cut down the damaged end like shown in pic 2.

The one side can be used to undo a tight one. (pic 3).

The end can be used like a screwdriver when not tight. (pic 4).
