Author Topic: Wrench in Blockland.  (Read 4627 times)

I was wondering what you might call the design of the wrench used in Blockland.

I want to buy one, just for the lulz. Paint it gold, mount it, and label it:

"If only it were this simple"






It's a pipe wrench, I have one
pipe wrench and monkey wrench are same thing

pipe wrench and monkey wrench are same thing
That's were your wrong.  0.o

i asked my dad he has a bunch of them

He drinks too much, you shouldn't trust him.

They're similar but not identical.

This also came up when I searched:

... which I think is very similar to Blockland's wrench.

the second picture is a pipe wrench, BTW.

A Pipe wrench is a heavy duty version of a monkey wrench.

The thing on the top is an adjustable wrench. The adjustable wrench is the successor to the monkey wrench.

The second picture is a monkey wrench.

Pipe wrenches have angled teeth to that give more traction when turning a pipe. Using a pipe wrench on a nut messes the nut up. Monkey wrenches have flat teeth that fit around a hex nut.

Therefore, the Blockland wrench is a monkey wrench. Unless you conclude that pipes in Blockland are shaped like hexagons as well (which they probably would), in which case a monkey wrench and a pipe wrench in the Blockland universe would look exactly the same.
