What does the Wrench icon mean? | Forums

As far as i've always known;

this is a spanner:


and this is a wrench:


Redlynx, you couldn't have just gone with a Screwdriver or Hammer and appeased everyone?

Spanner and Adjustable Spanner in my world...

correct cru, good call.
in the uk for it to be a wrench, it would have some sort of ratchet,
as in: Torque Wrench.

the only way to make everyone happy (apart from the recievers)
is to call it the TOOL award.

(dont start getting excited, the sensitive souls among you, its just a joke)

have you heard of the saying "throw a spanner into the works"? well this is basically what people are doing by causing a problem where there isn't 1, its no problem just a different pronunciation

In the states we say "throw a wrench in the works"
