crescent wrench
Jaw-adjusting bolt turner
A crescent wrench is an adjustable wrench with a movable jaw controlled by a thumbscrew, allowing it to grip nuts and bolts of various sizes.
The name comes from the Crescent Tool Company, which popularized the design, though it's now used generically for any adjustable wrench of this type: Hand me that crescent wrench.
