I don't see why my headphones need a sp-

Conveniently built in to your headset, you can use the spanner to adjust bolt tightness on-the-go!

Okay, but that's not wh-

We're proud to be leading the market in spanner-augmented products to bring a new level of convenience to your life.

...

Spanner may sometimes only appear to tighten bolts. Please don't ask us the energy cost of manufacturing the spanner.

Spanners?

North American term for English Wenches. I think Hoe's are another tool misused in this manner.

British English term for wrenches.
