Wrenches
- Top quality wrenches are forged from
fine-grade tool steel, machined to close
tolerances, hardened and tempered for
long service life.
- Types include open-end, box- end,
combination box/open end, adjustable,
socket and locking grip styles.
Box open
Double open ended
Double box end
6 and 12 point ends
- See how much greater flexibility a 12 point box end gives the operator
- 12 point gives the advantage of moving the fastener in 30° degree increments as opposed to 60° for the 6 point
Box-end Wrenches
- Made to grip all sides of nut or bolt head
- Prevents slippage
- Must be slipped over the end of nut or bolt-head
- Box end wrenches will normally have two different sizes per wrench
- Size of wrench refers to nut or bolt head dimensions
Open-end wrenches
- do not provide as strong a grip as a box-ended wrench
- slip on the nut or bolt head from the side
- two flat surfaces parallel to each other hold onto parallel sides of nut or bolt-head
- tend to slip or round the corners if too much pressure is required
- easier to use most instances
Combination Wrench
- box end on one end and open end on
the other
- both ends will usually be the same size
- gives the advantage of wrench that will
