She must be straightening a bent spoke with that monkey wrench.

BTW, how did it ever come to be called a monkey wrench?

These are also known as a Ford wrench owing to this type of wrench being included in the tool kit supplied with every Ford Model A.

Because when I clock you with it, you'll run around like a monkey

Or because they are used by a mechanic, AKA a "grease monkey". So which came first, a monkey wrench or a grease monkey?
