Abstract

Various embodiments of a faucet wrench are provided. The faucet wrench includes a first insert that includes multiple inner jaw surfaces. The multiple inner jaw surfaces are each configured to engage workpieces of different sizes. In specific embodiments, the first insert includes a plurality of stackable components, each with multiple inner jaw surfaces. The plurality of stackable components can be interchanged and/or reoriented by a user to allow the user to select a preferred inner jaw surface to be used for a given task. In further specific embodiments, the first insert includes a pivotable wedge that allows the faucet wrench to be used in different orientations. In specific embodiments, the faucet wrench also has a second insert that includes multiple work surfaces for engaging an additional variety of workpieces.
