combination wrench

Open-and-box tool

A combination wrench has an open end on one side and a closed loop (box end) on the other, both sized for the same fastener.

The open end slides onto bolts in tight spaces; the box end grips more securely for stubborn nuts.

Standard in any mechanic's toolkit: Hand me the half-inch combination wrench.
