ABSTRACT:
A speed wrench has a short jaw and a long jaw interconnected by a throat, the jaws respectively having short and long driving surfaces which are generally parallel but which may be very slightly inclined with respect to each other. The throat has a generally flat surface portion adjacent to the short driving surface and inclined at an angle of at least 120.degree. thereto and connected thereto by an arcuate recess in the short jaw. This generally flat surface portion may be slightly convex having a radius greater than twice the distance between the driving surfaces. The remainder of the throat is arcuate and is shaped and dimensioned so that it will not contact a fastener engaged with the driving surfaces. Open-end wrench and adjustable wrench versions are disclosed, and in the former the support surface portion of the throat has a length approximately one-half the side dimension of an associated fastener. In the adjustable wrench version, at least the long driving surface may be serrated.
