I have always defined wrenches ( spanners) as :

closed round end completely surrounds nut :BOX wrench

open C shaped wrench touches two sides of the nut :OPEN END wrench

and a wrench that has one of each at opposite ends is a COMBINATION wrench.


Often I hear people say, when asking for an open end wrench,

  "give me  a half inch end wrench"


Confuses me a little
