Abstract
A dual fastener manipulation device may be used to manipulate two fasteners, having the same rotational axis, which may be separated by various distances and various sized objects. The dual fastener manipulation device may include a first wrench having a first fastener engaging head, a first handle, and a pivot stud. A second wrench element may have a second fastener engaging head and a second handle. A pivot linkage may be pivotally coupled to the pivot stud, and a floating stud may be coupled to both the second wrench and to the pivot linkage. The first and second fastener engaging heads may be engaged to two fasteners having the same rotational axis, while the pivot linkage and floating stud may maintain the rotational axis of the fastener engaging heads, while also allowing the fastener engaging heads to be moved closer to or farther from each other.
