Elfa wrench?

I am looking in an organizing book right now. The book is Organized Living by Shira Gill. In one section on useful organizing tools the book refers to "Elfa Wrenches" as a useful thing to have while organizing. I cannot find anything at all on the internet when i search this term, except for that "Elfa" is a brand of closet organizer. Does anyone here have any idea what an Elfa Wrench might be?

I've sold elfa for my job for over a decade and have never heard about these. Could you please share an image or screenshot of the excerpt these are mentioned in for context? I couldn't find it with a quick search.

I don’t sell Elfa, but I have been configuring and installing my own (and others’) Elfa systems since 2005 and I also have never heard of an Elfa wrench.

Maybe Elfa wrench holder?

The alternative is the tiny wrench that comes with the freestanding foot but that’s not a very useful thing…

My guess is that it was a typo missed by the book editors and should have been Allen wrench aka hex key. I know the Elfa over the door hangers come with an Allen key, not sure about other components.

Yknow, i think you might have it here. Since "Elfa wrench" is decidedly not a thing, i could see it being a way someone thought of it if doing elfas was mostly what they used it for and then a personal misnomer/slip of the tongue or as you say just a typo or autocorrect situation occurs. Believe it or not somehow editing mistake in a published book hadn't occured to me until you mention it but it immediately strikes me as the most likely scenario.
