Abstract
A wrench adapted to engage a workpiece to drive the workpiece rotationally. In one embodiment, the wrench comprises a head, a first jaw, and a second jaw. The first jaw carried by the head and forms a first workpiece engaging surface. The second jaw is carried by the head and forms a second workpiece engaging surface such that (i) if the head is rotated about a workpiece disposed between the first workpiece engaging surface and the second workpiece engaging surface in a first rotational direction, the first workpiece engaging surface and the second workpiece engaging surface rotationally drive the workpiece in the first rotational direction, and (ii) if the head is rotated about the workpiece disposed between the first workpiece engaging surface and the second workpiece engaging surface in a second rotational direction opposite from the first rotational direction, the first workpiece engaging surface and the second workpiece engaging surface slide along the workpiece as the head rotates in the second rotational direction independent from the workpiece.
