Wrench or pliers (4)

I believe the answer is:

tool

I believe this is a double definition.

'wrench' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'pliers' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for tool that I've seen before include "Device, implement" , "Gun" , "Hand implement" , "Working instrument" , "Weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the Newsday.
