Make mine a hammer

   The “Monkey Wrench” comes straight from the Japanese copy, where they call it a “Digital Ratchet Wrench Type”

   This is an adjustable wrench. “Spanner” is a derogatory term for person of Spanish descent.

   It’s a “clé à molette numérique”.

   adjustable spanner/wrench/whathaveyou

   If you want to split hairs, a monkey wrench is a type of adjustable wrench/spanner. But not all adjustable wrenches are monkey wrenches. It is misused here.

   Dis ol’ hammuh, it shine like silver…

   They call this a “monkey” wrench, despite it not being a monkey wrench. It’s an crescent style adjustable wrench. A monkey wrench is similar to a modern pipe wrench.

   Really retrojoe? And I call it a spanner or adjustable spanner to be more precise.

9. [cha0tic]

   Well in my industry (music) we call it an AJ.

10. [retrojoe]

    @Heatherb> Well, spanner or wrench it’s still not a monkey

11. [HeatherB]

    Really? Because a spanner wrench and monkey wrench are pretty much the same thing in the UK. The monkey wrench is an adjustable wrench (spanner in British English) and it should actually be a Moncky wrench. But then we wouldn’t want to split hairs would we?

    You take things far to serious Retrojoe. I honestly didn’t even care.
