Try "face spanner."

The photos all seem to come up with round pins; did I miss
something?

The gland nuts I'm dealing with have rectangular notches. Pins
might
work, but they seem precarious.

A couple with square or rectangular pins:

I've made tools similar to the second example to reach bearing
locknuts in a recess where a hook spanner won't work.

Face spanners of a different sort:

The snap rings you pictured are often called Eaton rings, though
most

Do you know the name for the 'w' shaped soft iron (?) flat rings? I
found round wire ones by searching for hog rings.
