Explanation:

The logic followed here is:

Shield is a large piece of metal or wood that soldiers carried to guard themselves.

Similarly, Spanner is a metal tool with an end shaped for turning small metal rings (nuts) and pins (bolts) that are used to grip things together.

Hence, 'Grip' is the correct answer.
