ABSTRACT:
A hand wrench is described for attachment with various sockets and other hand tool attachments to control the rotation of fasteners. The hand wrench has a main member with dimensions of length greater than width, and width greater than thickness such that it has a thin stamped form; and, a driving element fixed to and protruding out from the main member and formed to engage with sockets and other hand tool attachments. In some preferred embodiments, the main member is wider at one end and is bent offset with an obtuse angle of about 170 degrees. Because this hand wrench has a thin stamped form without a ratcheting mechanism, the present invention can access and engage fasteners under certain limited-access situations where a ratchet wrench (or any other known wrench) cannot. Additionally, the simple design and form allows the present invention to be manufactured at a much lower cost than a ratchet wrench or flex "T" handle, providing the consumer with an inexpensive alternative to a ratchet wrench or flex "T" handle.
