Abstract: A wrench includes a body and a rod pivotably received in a first end of the body. A pressing device is mounted in the rod and presses against the body. A handle includes a shank and a connection end pivotably connected to the first end of the body. When the handle is in a coaxial position, the shank protrudes beyond an outer face of the first end. A longitudinal axis of the shank is coincident to the working axis. The shank can be rapidly rotated by fingers of a user. When the handle is in a storage position, the shank is received in a groove in the outer face. A palm of the user can grip and rotate the body without hindrance by the shank.

Abstract: A hexagonal wrench includes a driving member and an actuating member. The driving member includes a hexagonal driving section for driving a bolt having a hexagonal socket. The driving member further includes a pivotal section pivotably connected with the actuating member, allowing relative pivotal movement between the driving member and the actuating member during operation. An area of the driving member is smaller than an area of the driving section to provide enhanced structural strength, preventing deformation and damage of the hexagonal wrench while providing reliable connection between the driving member and the actuating member.
