Abstract
A wrench assembly for turning a central portion of a turnbuckle. The wrench assembly includes first and second wrenches that are substantially identical. Slots in body portions of each of the wrenches define open ends that are oppositely disposed to one another when engaging the central portion of the turnbuckle. The wrenches may be detachably secured together around the central portion of the turnbuckle. At least two spokes extend outwardly from a periphery of each of the body portions of the wrenches that are utilized to impart rotational movement to the central portion of the turnbuckle. In at least one configuration, a distal end of an elongated member is used to push and pull on the spokes to impart the rotational movement.
