An adjustable torque wrench includes a driving head having an arm received in a shank, and a follower and a spring received in the shank and guided to move along the shank. The follower may be moved to adjust the spring force against the arm.

A handle is threaded onto the shank. A knob is secured to the follower. A lock may lock the follower to the shank and includes a control ferrule engaged on the knob and engaged onto the handle with such as a key or a teeth engagement in order to lock the knob to the handle and to prevent the knob from being rotated relative to the handle.

Adjustable end wrench, adjustable spanner or shifting spanner: an open-ended wrench with adjustable (usually smooth) jaws, also sometimes called by the original patent holder’s brand name as a Crescent Wrench (Crescent Tool and Horseshoe Company).
