I'm always pleased to find a tool on the road, and doubly so if it's a
primo brand such as Snap-On.

I just found a Snap-On V520B 5/8" open-end angle wrench, as their web
site calls it. It looks like a typical open end wrench but with a more
°extreme angle on the "jaw" portion - looks like about 45° rather than
the typical 30°.

Can anyone explain why such an item exists? What purpose does it serve
beyond that of the more familiar open end wrench?

Let me guess. An offset wrench for tight places?

Right on. It allows you to remove a bolt with a tad more than a 15
degree swing, flipping the wrench each time.
