where Im from there are several common types of wrench. The 'spanner' used to uncouple fire hoses or tighten suction hoses. The 'adjustable spanner' or simply 'adjustable' is the preferred tool of women and sissies. There is the 'box' and 'open end' used by men, real mechanics and expert know-it alls and the plumbers 'monkey wrench'.
You can start a thread all about spanners if you want to: I've got enough on my hands right here...
