only got a static one piece model of the spanner.
how do you design the adjustable teeth in between so that it comes out as
only 1 piece prototype with no joints?

2 parts assembled or more?
 
An adjustable spanner has three parts. The easiest to model will be the fixed handle. I would start with the 'screw' part making the thread with a helical sweep and then the moving anvil teeth using the same sweep sightly offset as a cut. And then assemble the three bits.
 
thanks Nicolas!

umm... i've tried but still not able to get the adjustable part going..
