English term or phrase: spanner (with four fingers)

su Eurodicautom/Marolli ho trovato "chiave a forcella" o "chiave a forchetta", e la cosa sembrerebbe spiegare la presenza del termine "fingers".
Tuttavia, leggendo la frase in cui è inserito il termine, non mi sembra che si tratti di una chiave, ma di qcosa di ben diverso....

FRASE

Our quadfurcated contacts feature spanners with four “fingers” on each side of the spanner allowing many different possible current paths. Each path can carry the full rated load of the contact.

Se parliamo di biciclette o di utensili multi uso, si utilizza generalmente il termine "chiave a 4 bracci snodati".
