This tool can be single-headed or doubled-headed. If it is single-headed it is more precisely referred to as a "single open-end wrench" or a "single open-end spanner." If it is double-headed it is called a "double open-end wrench" or a "double open-end spanner". However, there is usually no distinction made between these two types of wrenches and the more generic terms "open-end wrench" and "open-end spanner" are used. 6, record 1, English, - open%20end%20wrench
