Buzzell's patent produces "a wrench which may be readily applied to the removal of nuts or screws in places that are not readily accessible to wrenches of ordinary construction; and the invention consists of two arms, which form the jaws, or to which the jaws may be attached, pivoted to and extending out from the end of a handle, and provided with a sliding clasp surrounding each arm, by means of which the jaws can be readily adjusted to a nut or screw-head, and held in position by means of a screw acting upon a central rod between the arms or jaws."
