English term or phrase: Folding clench wrench set
I am not too sure how to translate clench wrench. So far I came up with Jeu de clés repliables (but still mising the clench) Could it be jeu de clés repliables à mâchoire. Here is a link to a picture I found: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00930879000P?mv=rr&...

Thanks for your help.

clé à griffe pliante


Explanation:
Well, if this is anything to go by, the 'clench wrench' would be a 'clé à griffe':

As for the 'folding' part, I'm not sure if 'pliante' is right here, but 'escamotable' sounded vaguely wrong!
