ABSTRACT:
An improved open-end wrench which will retain an appropriately sized nut in the U-shaped recess at either end of the wrench, thus preventing loss of the nut and freeing one hand for other activities. Resilient insert means such as a spring wire clip or equivalent means is slidably positioned within the jaws forming the U-shaped recess so as to protrude slightly into the recess on at least one side. Sliding movement of the resilient insert means permits the nut to be frictionally engaged and held within the U-shaped recess, during threading or unthreading of the nut or like conventional use of the open-end wrench.
