Frank Turley Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The jolly old English language. I had a student from Colorado who was brought up in England. He was calling any wrench in my shop a "spanner," using it as a generic term. I told him that to me, a spanner was a handled wrench with 2 nubbins or tits which spanned a specific distance and engaged with two appropriate holes. He agreed, but insisted that any wrench was a spanner. Therefore, I had a double take on "Wheel Spanner Candleholders." Then, it registered; Mr. Smith was talking about what we in the U.S. call a lug wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Smith Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I struggled to decide exactly what to call them, to be honest. Lug wrench has a nice ring to it! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
