I've long wondered why small wrenches are called 'ignition wrenches'. I can't seem to find an explanation for it. I suspect that it's a holdover from early days in the automobile industry, when ignition systems were far from the maintenance-free, solid state wonders we have these days. Early ignition systems were no doubt quite intricate electro-mechanical systems, with many small fasteners.
I'll hammer this wrench straight, and stash it in the drawer where I keep little specialized wrenches.
