A 3/8" brake bleeder wrench with little or no offset?

[RockMechMark]

I purchased a 6-point bleeder wrench from O'Reiilly's last weekend to use on a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country. It had 3/8" on one end (my need) and 5/16" at the other end. Brand is Performance Tool. Unfortunately, the offset bend made it impossible to use. I could get it on the bleeder hex in one orientation with no room for turning the valve because of interference with the caliper. Turning the wrench over so that the offst was inward ;caused interference with the wheel well, but the wrench would not even fit over the hex from that side. I am wishing for a 6-pt box end wrench with no more offset than a standard combination wrench. Any recommendations of brand and vendor?

Any reason not to use a 6pt regular/deep socket? Once loose a reg open end wrench is more than enough to close it.

Lots of options, just depends on how much you want to spend and how quickly you need it. The easiest is to do as Trav suggested, use a deep 6pt socket to break the bleeder loose, then a 12-pt combo wrench to bleed. But if you're dead set on a 6pt box or combo, here's an easy one through Amazon:
