Abstract
A wrench for driving a nut utilizes curved drive faces. The drive faces are convex and protrude inward toward a center line between the jaw portions. Notches are formed on each drive face near the free end. One wrench is adjustable, having a positioner that pushes the nut outward as the movable jaw closes. The positioner maintains the nut in a position in contact with the curved drive surfaces.
