Abstract
A wrench or other tool with a top side, bottom side, left side, and right side. A working end of the tool has a clamp open or openable on the top, left, and right sides. A handle region defined by an elongated shape is adapted for gripping. A mid-region of unitary construction is attached to the handle region and a head region, wherein the head region is a separate piece fastened to the mid-region, such as by threads or bolts. A base with a flat side is formed of unitary construction, such as forged in the same metallurgy process, as the mid-region. The flat bottom side of the base may be angled to entirely rest on a surface when a corresponding bottom side of the handle region rests on the surface.

1-7. (canceled)
The wrench of claim 9, wherein
- said base has a rounded and curved half-moon front and back sides perpendicular to said left side and said right side of said wrench and extending past a furthest corresponding left and right side of said wrench.
A wrench, comprising a top side, bottom side, left side, and right side, comprising:
- a working end with clamp;
- a handle region defined by an elongated shape adapted for gripping;
- a mid-region of unitary construction attached to a handle region and a head region, wherein said head region is a separate piece fastened to said mid-region;
- a base with a flat side formed unitarily with said mid-region,
- a clamp size adjustment mechanism adjacent and external to said base;
- wherein said flat bottom side of said base is perpendicular to said handle region.
A method of using a tool which comprises a base oppositely disposed from a clamp, comprising steps of:
- facing an open side of said clamp upwards;
- clamping an item to be worked on into said clamp;
- resting said tool on said base and an extreme end of said tool, said extreme end opposite an end of said tool comprising said clamp;
- acting on said item with another object, while said tool rests on said base and said extreme end.
The tool of claim 14 comprising a unitary constructed mid-region having a line of symmetry along an elongated most length, said base on a bottom side extending past otherwise flat left and right sides of said mid-region,
- two separate protrusions extending in a same direction from said mid-region, a first protrusion thereof being said base and a second protrusion spaced apart from said base, each of said two separate protrusions having a portal through which a threaded screw is engaged;
- a handle extending from said mid-region and rising at an obtuse angle with respect to said base.
A tool comprising a base oppositely disposed from a clamp, such that an open side of said clamp faces upwards while said tool rests on said base, said base extending outward from a generally flat plane of a working end portion of said tool and metallurgically forged together as a single unit with a body of a wrench.
