Wrench 🔧
Copy & Meaning

A wrench — representing mechanical repair, plumbing, engineering, and the turning tool that tightens and loosens bolts and fittings across all machinery and construction. Wrenches are the universal tool of mechanical work — every machine that uses fasteners requires one. 'Throw a wrench into the works' means deliberately disrupt a plan.

Mechanics, plumbers, and engineers all depend on wrenches daily. Used for mechanical and automotive repair content, plumbing discussions, engineering work, DIY mechanical projects, the 'settings and configuration' icon in software (wrench appears in many software settings menus), and any metaphor involving precise adjustment of connections and fasteners.
