470 Entries for “wrench”

  1. Wrench. Yes, a very peculiar word indeed. To throw a wrench in plans. A monkey wrench. Going under the hood of a car with your trusty wrench in hand. If you take out the “R”, it’s wench, which is an entire different can of worms. Fixing things, fixing things is good. I wonder how much a wrench cost?

  3. I actually thought this word was wench, but it’s def not. Wrench, I don’t think of the tool originally, but I’m sure it seems that way, I think of “throwing a wrench” in plans, like being a complete screw up. Then the tool! But, ya know, I’m not well versed in my toolbox. Mechanics use wrenches.

  4. It wasn’t, in retrospect, the wisest maneuver, but what could I do? She was tied to that huge gear, grinding closer and closer to the spot where the huge cog tooth her head rested upon would come to intersect a similarly sized space between the teeth of another enormous cog, and I couldn’t bear the thought of what would happen. And the phrase was… well, you know the phrase, right? So I grabbed a huge monkey wrench off the wall. I threw it in.

    The grinding captured my horrified attention as it was warped beyond recognition; I could not bear to watch the source of the squishy crunching as she did the same.

  5. I sit in the dark all day. The other tools tell me that its a wonderful world out there, but I will never see it. All those power tools have put me out of work.

  6. I found a wrench in a garage and thought I might like to use this on someunpleasant person at a call centre who kept me waiting for hours and hours and then decided it was wrong and illegal and I had a cup of tea instead. I found my sanity before it was too late and I went to prison.

  7. the wrench will help tighten or loosen bolts
    sometimes called a monkey wrench which can be an actual wrench or just a cause for something to be messed up and confused

  8. A tool. It’s used to pry things loose, like bolts. A symbolic wrench could be someone or something that loosens things as well. Perhaps someone taking something apart, or destroying things.

  9. Wrench is a tool, but also an action, as when someone wrenches something from my hand, or my heart wrenches in pain. It is always a loosening, a taking away, never a giving or an adding to something else. It can be a tightening, though too.

  10. I used to have a wrench in the tool kit but it got lost. It eneded up somewhere on the bottom of Big Star Lake when we were putting in docks. It’s not that I can’t get another on but that one was special.

  11. wrench, not wench. left handed? do they make those? or, when growing up: “wrench out” the rag. I remember that. Wrench your back? Today’s is in tool chest and in vocabulary list.

  12. Out of my wrist grew a mighty wrench, bright red with a silver glow, cranking itself out into the world against or in accordance with my will, my mechanical will.

  13. wrenches are heavy and full of hatred for the things that they are wrenching out of place, cant these wrenches just let things be? wrenches are more violent than any other tool. also they are in cahoots with monkeys. which i also disapprove of.

  14. when somethings going perfect. then you just have something come between. a division, a distraction. A wrench. ironically enough wrenches fix bolts and cars, but thrown into your life, and they can ruin anything.

  15. wrench…it’s a funny word. when you say it enough times you begin to wonder if it’s actually a work or if it’s something you’ve made up. I think it’s a tool…used for tightening and loosening bolts or something. sounds like wench…a pirates prostitute. i like it…i like the wre- sound at the beginning. it’s satisfying to say

  16. A wrench is a tool that is used to fix something . such as a car and stuff so a person who fixes cars would greatly like to have a wrench.

  18. a wrench is used for things like tightening some thing ha ha ha ha cocoa puffs.

  20. “If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball” – Dodgeball

    A wrench is a tool, and you know what? So are you. Of course if you are referring to wrench as an action, I can still say, that you make me want to wrench my eyes out sometimes…

  21. A wrench can be defined as a tool used to help fuse things together. However, in my experience, it has been used to help bond people together. My father and I would spend hours in the garage, building things that we could use on a sunny day. Swingsets, patio sets, anything you can think of. So, instead of viewing this tool as a a mechanism for objects, view it as a mechanism for people. We all need to spend some alone time with people we love. So, why not build something together?

  27. Easily the most favoured weapon of serial killers who also happen to be mechanics.

    Used for piano tuning.

    She wrenched free of his grasp and thwacked him swifly upside his face.

  28. wrench

  29. He threw the wrench into the crowd, hoping it would hurt someone. It was the only projectile at his disposal. But after years of oppression by the government, it felt good to throw something – even if it would cost him a day’s wages to replace it.

    One wrench – the symbol of this this plumber’s revolution.

  30. a tool that is wonderful to use when one has to unstick a nut or solve a problem that is especially vexing to oneself or to others which reminds me that it is my nieces birthday today and i must be sure to call her this afternoon which as it turns out has become quite unexpectedly sunny although still chilly

    Brian Cooke
  31. She took his wrench like the handlebars of her motor scooter, gripping with the tips of her fingers and sweating. Merging into traffic had never been easy for her. But she stared at the tiny hairs of his large balding crown and wrapped the handle of the wrench with her fist. She then stepped toward him and, for a moment, raised it – a silver scepter now haloed by the sun.

  32. to have a wrench is to be a plumber. anyone with a wrench can say they are a plumber. nobody ever asked if i had a plumber’s license. that’s your own fault. wrench makes me think of wench. like a female pirate.

  33. It was easy for me to lose my tools. My garage was a total mess, and I was really too lazy to fix it.
    More than anything, I needed that damned wrench. Had to get this job done. My daughter wasn’t going to help me, which sucked, but nothing much you can do about teenaged girls. My son was at football practice.

    My wife? At work.
    Figured.

    Maybe if I bought a new wrench, I’d be more careful. I’d put it on its own little shelf, love it forever, and never let it out of my sight.

  34. It was a despicable wrench of the situation. All in which we never knew and it was indeed all that I loathed and hated within myself. the simple effort to fix the things, to change things, to need to know more and more to the effort of humanity. To weep at my own grave before I was ever dead. I weep for everything and nothing all at the same time.

  35. David strained but finally he managed to move the piano with a wrench. It hjad been a while since he used these muscles of his: after all he was sixty three now. But it nice to feel like he was mid thirty again.

  38. Stuck in something…I need a wrench to work it out. Work out this problem, and I don’t even know how I got here. A car? why would I need a wrench. It’ll do me no good in the long run. I try to find something to do with it, but I’m at a loss. My time is running out with this wrench, it becomes too heavy and I’m not sure where to go with it.

  39. wrenches in the hands of mechanics under cars. Light bulbs spark plugs being changed in rapid succession. Discovery dan hums his favourite tunes while swiftly making the switch. It works. It really works. Happy thoughts, empowering music it all makes you better at what you want to do. Good mood isn’t just a flighty emotion.

  40. I used a wrench the other today to try and get my toilet seat of of the toilet. I tried and tried to get that feicin seat of the toilet. It just wouldnt budge. No matter how hard I tried, I just kept using the wrench to get it off. “Shit!”, said I.
