Get one with the offset in the shank, not the one with the offset head only, and don't let them sell you the angled style if what you need is the offset, which are a little harder to find. Look at IMS (Inept Mechanic Supply) if you can't find them locally. I think they may have a website, but I'm not sure.
If you can't find one and they don't have a website, you can make your own with a hack saw and a welder. Just cut the shank at a depth equal to the first hole and then set the cut portion off to one side the 1/8 inch or whatever and weld it back on. If you're going to tightening it down pretty hard, allow for a tiny amount of stretch or plan to use a thin washer. A little polishing of the weld or just some silver paint and no one will ever know it was hand made instead of store bought.
You are a mean man! I kind of like that about you...j/k.
I am an old printer, we used to send kids off looking for buckets of half-tone dots.
In regards to tooth bars, I whacked my building coming out the garage door this week. Moved the wall about 4"...I pushed it back using the same toothbar, about 6". The door works but the doorway needs some TLC with a sledge hammer to get everything aligned again.
I was watching and trying to be really careful too. I hate it when I spend a "farm" day fixing my goofs instead of working on what I came down to work on. Arrgghghggh!
