GM>I have some of them. Also several that are open on both ends,

Here those are called "open end" wrenches.

and
GM>others that are ring on both ends.

Here those are called "box end" wrenches.

Wrenches with an open end and a box end are called
"combination" wrenches.

I have a chest full of all of them - 1/8" on up to 1 1/2"
Also metric from 4mm (I think) up to 36mm.
Sockets the same size ranges in both inch and metric.

Plus a few odd sizes (metric and inch) larger than the above
that I bought one of for one time jobs occasionally.

Different country, same tool, different names. :-)
