A spanner wrench is a tool with a fixed opening and two
opposing drive lugs on either side of the open end.
See attached jpeg of spanner.jpg which has a spanner
wrench on the right of the photo and a box/hex wrench
on the other. Spanners typically have round pin-type drive
lugs. They're also usually much smaller and cleaner than
my sample!
