Abstract
A closure assembly includes a cap including a radially outer lip, a radially inner projection, and a groove located therebetween, and a threaded portion configured for threaded engagement with a container. The assembly also includes a wrench including a handle and a gripping portion. At least part of the gripping portion is configured to extend into the groove in an assembled position with the gripping portion engaging the outer lip and the inner projection such that rotation of the wrench in opposite directions results in the cap being loosened or tightened relative to the container. The wrench may also be used to hold the cap when the cap is removed from the container.
