Hello, it appears to be a normal wrench.

WARNING:

Do not smoke while working on fuel system. Keep open flame away from your work area.
While replacing the fuel filter, be careful to keep a safe distance between battery terminals and any tools.
The fuel filter should be replaced whenever the fuel pressure drops below the specified value [260 - 310 kPa (38 - 46 psi) with the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose disconnected and pinched] after making sure that the fuel pump and the fuel pressure regulator are OK.

Place a shop towel under and around the fuel filter.
Relieve fuel pressure.
Remove the engine wire harness bracket and power steering feed hose clamp.
