I guess that it would depend on where the wrench is. But it would be a bad idea.
It is Allen and not LN as famously confused.The Allen® name is a registered trademark, originated by the Allen Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut circa 1910, and currently owned by Apex Tool Group, LLC.A hex key, hex wrench, Allen key, Allen wrench (also known by various other synonyms such as Inbus and Unbrako) is a tool of hexagonal cross-section used to drive bolts and screws that have a hexagonal socket in the head (internal-wrenching hexagon drive).
The "Allen screw" name for the socket head cap screw and "Allen key" for the wrench originate from the products of the Allen Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut. According to Bates, it is widely reported that the company trademarked the name "Allen wrench or key" for its range of hex wrenches in 1943. The Allen wrench trademark of the Allen Manufacturing Company owas taken out in 1943, Allen became such a successful brand of hex key that many consumers in following decades have assumed (reasonably but incorrectly) that the internal-wrenching hexagon drive was invented by someone named Allen.
A box end wrench goes all the way around the nut, like a slice of a socket. An open end wrench grips just on two sides.
It's basically a pipe wrench with a point at the opposite end.
