Abstract: This disclosure is related to an adjustable wrench for engaging work objects. The adjustable wrench has a handle having a handle end and a flat serrated jaw surface. The adjustable wrench also has an L-shaped movable jaw having a lever arm and a serrated jaw, the lever arm having a terminal end and an extension element extending from the terminal end having an opening therethrough. The adjustable wrench further comprises a projection extending from the handle having a tunnel therein for accepting the lever arm of the L-shaped movable jaw and a grip enhancing apparatus.
