I've seen many great pictures of CADed robots this season, and realized that the tools that we use to build them don't get enough credit. So here is a tribute to the battle-hardened wrench. It can be used as a crowbar, a hammer, a pointing stick, and also as a wrench.

Dont forget its most important use.
A grade nine beating stick 
EDIT: Akash beat me to it... Great minds think alike. Maybe next time i'll read through the whole thread before commenting

Is your model parametric, so that you can drive dimensions for a wrench of any size from a table? Since this is a learning exercise, making the model parametric would be a good goal. Might even lead to useful results, or at least to interesting artistic combinations.
(Ooh, really bad pun.)

Well, now that you are talking "measurements", please include the size on this beauty. My suggestion......."7/16".

Step 2: Make it a 7/16 ratchet.

jk, but seriously, great work. I'll show this to some of my newbies in CAD for inspiration.
