Muscle Wrench...
"Ratcheting" Adjustable wrench - in other words it "free" rotates in the direction opposite of what you want the fastener to go.
And its made by ALLTRADE if it matters...

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an adjustable wrench. In particular, the present invention relates to an adjustable wrench allowing free rotation in a direction opposite to the ratcheting direction.
2. Description of the Related Art
U.S. Pat. No. 5,415,064 to Chang issued on May 16, 1995 discloses an adjustable wrench. As illustrated in FIG. 1 of the drawings (corresponding to FIG. 6 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,415,064), the adjustable wrench 100 includes a head 101 having a fitting hole 102 and a groove 103, wherein the fitting hole 102 includes two fixed clamping faces 104 and 105. A rotation **** 106 is mounted in the groove 103, and an adjusting bolt 107 is extended through the rotation **** 106 with an end of the adjusting bolt 107 extending into the fitting hole 102. The end of the adjusting bolt 107 includes a movable surface 108 that is moved along an axis of the adjusting bolt 107 when the rotation **** 106 is turned. Thus, when clamping a fastener 109 in the fitting hole 102, two sides 109a and 109b of the fastener 109 press against the fixed clamping faces 104 and 105, and another side 109c of the fastener 109 after adjustment of the position of the movable surface 108 of the adjusting bolt 107 as a result of rotation of the rotation **** 106. Thus, the adjustable wrench 100 can be turned in either direction. However, when used in a limited space, the adjustable wrench 100 must be disengaged from the fastener 109 and then moved in a reverse direction before it is reengaged with the fastener 109.

Okay, cool. But I still don't understand how I'm supposed to use it. 
I guess I'll need to find a nut and give it a whirl... My neighbors' house got repossessed so I was digging through all the crap they left and I found it. I had a hunch it was more than a tap holder.

So tool number one is some gimmicky auto-wrench thing.
Here's tool number 2:
