Wrench With Integrated Support Rest

Abstract

A wrench or other tool with a top side, bottom side, left side, and right side. A working end of the tool has a clamp open or openable on the top, left, and right sides. A handle region defined by an elongated shape is adapted for gripping. A mid-region of unitary construction is attached to the handle region and a head region, wherein the head region is a separate piece fastened to the mid-region, such as by threads or bolts. A base with a flat side is formed of unitary construction, such as forged in the same metallurgy process, as the mid-region. The flat bottom side of the base may be angled to entirely rest on a surface when a corresponding bottom side of the handle region rests on the surface.

1 - 7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . The wrench of  claim 9 , wherein
 said base has a rounded and curved half-moon front and back sides perpendicular to said left side and said right side of said wrench and extending past a furthest corresponding left and right side of said wrench.   
     
     
         9 . A wrench, comprising a top side, bottom side, left side, and right side, comprising:
 a working end with clamp;   a handle region defined by an elongated shape adapted for gripping;   a mid-region of unitary construction attached to a handle region and a head region, wherein said head region is a separate piece fastened to said mid-region;   a base with a flat side formed unitarily with said mid-region,   a clamp size adjustment mechanism adjacent and external to said base;   wherein said flat bottom side of said base is perpendicular to said handle region.   
     
     
         10 . The wrench of  claim 9 , wherein said base is situated between threads which pass, in order, through said base one time only and then through said clamp size adjustment mechanism. 
     
     
         11 . A method of using a tool which comprises a base oppositely disposed from a clamp, comprising steps of:
 facing an open side of said clamp upwards;   clamping an item to be worked on into said clamp;   resting said tool on said base and an extreme end of said tool, said extreme end opposite an end of said tool comprising said clamp;   acting on said item with another object, while said tool rests on said base and said extreme end.   
     
     
         12 . The tool of  claim 14  comprising a unitary constructed mid-region having a line of symmetry along an elongated most length, said base on a bottom side extending past otherwise flat left and right sides of said mid-region,
 two separate protrusions extending in a same direction from said mid-region, a first protrusion thereof being said base and a second protrusion spaced apart from said base, each of said two separate protrusions having a portal through which a threaded screw is engaged; 
 a handle extending from said mid-region and rising at an obtuse angle with respect to said base. 
 
     
     
         13 . The tool of  claim 12 , wherein said base is in a shape of a half-moon with flanges winder than an entirety of a rest of said tool. 
     
     
         14 . A tool comprising a base oppositely disposed from a clamp, such that an open side of said clamp faces upwards while said tool rests on said base, said base extending outward from a generally flat plane of a working end portion of said tool and metallurgically forged together as a single unit with a body of a wrench.
