Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjustable spanner (2) having a first fixed jaw (4) and a second moveable jaw (8). The second jaw (8) can be locked in fixed relation to the first jaw (4) by a locking means (16). This locking means (16) is moveable between a first position in which the second jaw (8) is fixed in relation to the first jaw (4) and a second position in which the second jaw (8) is permitted to move with respect to the first jaw (4).

Abstract: An adjustable wrench in which a slidable jaw is snapped toward a fixed jaw in an almost fully closed position by the force of a helical spring. The slidable jaw is not fully snapped closed to enable a close tolerance adjustment to be easily made for spacing requirements. The clutch teeth on the slidable jaw are locked in various equally spaced positions by counter acting locking teeth on an adjacent movable plate. The plate is held against the slidable jaw by a second helical spring located in the handle of the adjustable wrench.

Abstract: A spanner wrench (20) for use in removing and replacing a retaining nut (52) of a cartridge type shock absorber assembly (50) is disclosed. A spanner wrench (20) includes a cylindrical wrench body (22) defining a retaining nut facing end surface (24) and a second end surface opposite therefrom. The wrench body (20) defines an axially directed aperture (28) proximate the center thereof, and a rectangular opening (58) radially removed therefrom. Two elongated handles (36) are interconnected to and extend laterally outwardly from the periphery of the cylindrical wrench body (22). A plurality of radially extending slots (26) are defined in the retaining nut facing end surface (24) of the cylindrical wrench body (22). A plurality of adaptor members (30) configured for removable receipt in the slots (26) are radially slideable in the slots (26). The adaptor members (30) provide for engagement of the retaining nut (52) to be operated on.
