  • Publication number: 20060156872
    Abstract: A wrench includes a handle and a head. A front end of the handle or a rear end of the head is rearward recessed to form a cavity. A ball joint is formed at a rear end of the head or a front end of the handle. A through hole is transversely formed through the ball joint. The joint is mounted in the cavity. A pin member is transversely fitted through the handle or the head and the through hole of the joint, whereby the joint can be rotated within the cavity. Accordingly, the handle can be freely swung relative to the head and the wrench can be operated in different working sites.

  • Publication number: 20060156867
    Abstract: A three-dimensionally operable wrench including a head, a handle and a connecting member disposed between the head and the handle. A rear end of the head and a front end of the connecting member are pivotally connected via a first shaft pin. A rear end of the connecting member and a front end of the handle are pivotally connected via a second shaft pin. The first and second shaft pins are perpendicular to each other. The head and the connecting member can be swung relative to each other and the connecting member and the handle can be swung relative to each other. The swinging direction of the former is perpendicular to the swinging direction of the latter. By means of such complex swinging relationship, the handle can be swung by any angle relative to the head, whereby the wrench is adaptable to various working sites.
