ABSTRACT:
A hand tool device is provided that stops the user from banging knuckles/hands into other nearby structures. The hand tool, for instance a wrench, includes a knuckle-protecting wrench handle, a wrench jaw, and a throat positioned between and integrated with the knuckle-protecting wrench handle and the wrench jaw. The wrench jaw may be a fixed open-ended jaw, an adjustable jaw, a Stillson type jaw, or a Crescent type jaw. The handle has two spaced-apart handle sections that define an opening therebetween. The user grips one of the handle sections during operation of the hand tool, while positioning one or both hands in the central opening. The second handle section protects the user's hands during use.
