Abstract

A wrench with a movable mallet platform is proposed. The wrench with a movable mallet platform includes a wrench main body and a mallet platform. The wrench main body includes a shaft. The shaft includes at least one abutment surface. The mallet platform is slidably sleeved on the wrench main body, and includes at least one striking portion and two holding portions. An engagement surface extends toward the shaft from at least one striking portion, and the engagement surface abuts against the at least one abutment surface. The two holding portions are disposed opposite to each other, and each of the two holding portions is connected to the at least one striking portion. Thus, the wrench with a movable mallet platform of the present disclosure can be struck by a striking tool, thereby fastening or releasing a fastening member.
