The one on the top right and at the bottom of each topic page is the topic admin wrench. it allows you staff functions on the topic.

While the wrench below each post is the post admin wrench - for staff functions specific to posts only.

Combining the two doesn’t really make sense. I think what is confusing you is that they are both wrenches and expect the same menu; the wrench is a generally universal admin function icon we use in other places, like for category admin on category pages, user account admin on profiles, for example.

 ![This image shows a screenshot of a website with a menu bar and a red arrow pointing to a wrench icon. The menu bar is black with white text, featuring the following categories: "Latest," "Hot," "New (3)," "Unread (14)," "Top," and "+ New Topic." The "Latest" category is currently selected, indicated by a blue underline below it. A red arrow points to a small wrench icon in a box to the right of the "Top" category. Below the menu bar is a pink rectangle with the word "Support" in white text, followed by the text "general support questions on using your Discourse site" in smaller white font. The background of the image is black. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/9/3/e/93e687f318c75a285208a20c2675ae46ae066a8d.jpeg)

 ![Sure, here is an image caption generated from the previous answer: The image shows a screenshot of a website with a red arrow pointing to a "Message" button. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/0/a/f/0aff3ed24a56249a99e7ec7d28dc9b0fed356ff4.jpeg)

Perhaps just think of the wrench as an admin button for any part of Discourse, so when you see it, you know you can change something about that section or perform staff-only related functions.
