Solid one piece construction needed for busting loose rusted bolts of heat exchangers/exhaust systems.

Yes the ones you are accessing through the holes in the heat exchangers are.

What Zippy said. The access holes through exchangers lead to what are called Barrel Nuts. 8mm Allen.

The rest are either 12mm or 13mm steel or copper lock nuts.

If you have a set of long Allen wrenches you can use the 8mm long end through the exchanger and just do the "linked wrench" trick with say a 19mm box end wrench on the short arm for leverage.
