A crescent wrench is a brand of adjustable wrench. I believe Gruber meant open-end wrench, or, because I’m Canadian a British etc roots, I call it a spanner. Either way, I agree the “artist” who drew this has never used such a device, and may not, in fact, qualify as an artist.

My guess is they wanted to give more space to the "nut" in the center so you can actually make out what the app is at the expense of realism.
