  • Patent number: 7207247
    Abstract: An L-shaped wrench with a handle and a shank attached to a hammer head. The hammer head may be hexahedral with the handle and shank attached to adjacent flats with opposing flats forming impact surfaces for applying an axial force along the handle or shank with an impact device such as a hammer. The remaining two flats provide torque surfaces for application of a secondary force such as a wrench. The handle and shank may be detachable from the hammer head and the hammer head may be relieved for clearance between the flats to which the handle and shank are attached.
