My dad had a Citroen GS and then a later model which I forget.
You could use the wheel change spanner as a starting handle in
both of these, and we did occasionally (damn hard work through).

Would that give any more leverage than simply using the tyre? And less
chance of that assaulting you. ;-)

It engaged with a dog on the crankshaft. Properly thought out, it was.
And if it was hard work to start the engine by hand, IME, it needed a
service.
