The Gonfalon

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"In January 24 1996 the session of the town council approved the gonfalon: a square canvas with a ratio of 1:1. In a red field there are white hammer, hammer and railway key. The author is Yu.Terlets'kyi."
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999

I'd say that the "railway key" is a "wrench".
