Adjustable spanner
An adjustable spanner (UK and most other English-speaking countries), shifting spanner (Australia and New Zealand), English wrench (Turkey) or adjustable wrench (US and Canada) is any of various styles of spanner (wrench) with a movable jaw, allowing it to be used with different sizes of fastener head (nut, bolt, etc.) rather than just one fastener size, as with a conventional fixed spanner. Pipe wrench and adjustable spanner are wrenches.
