What kinds of wrenches
are there?
Wrenches are made in various shapes and sizes and are used
for gripping, fastening, turning, tightening and loosening things like pipes,
pipe fittings, nuts and bolts. A professional and non-professional person is
required to keep different sizes and types of wrenches for different
circumstances:
Adjustable wrench
The most common type of
adjustable wrench in use today. An adjustable wrench is a flexible tool with a
movable jaw allowing one to use it on different sizes of fastener heads.
A combination wrench is a
double-ended tool that is sued for performing specific tasks. While one end is
a box-end wrench, the other is like an open-end wrench. Both ends generally fit
the same size of bolt.
Box-end wrench
this is a one-piece wrench
with an enclosed opening that grips the faces of the bolt or nut. The recess is
a six-point or twelve-point opening that opens nuts and bolts with a hexagonal
shape
Open-end Wrench
An open-end wrench is a
one-piece tool with a U-shaped opening on both ends. It is generally
double-ended with both the ends having a different-sized opening. Most openings
are balanced from the shank portion of the wrench by 15 degrees, thereby
allowing greater movement in enclosed areas.
Hex keys
A Hex keys(allen key) used to
turn screw or bolt heads designed with a hexagonal socket (recess) to receive
the wrench. The wrenches come in two common forms: L-shaped and T-handles.
The L-shaped wrenches are
formed from hexagonal wire stock
The T-handles are the same hex
wire stock with a metal or plastic handle attached to the end. There are also
indexable-driver-bits that can be used in indexable screwdrivers.
Pipe wrenches
Pipe wrenches are used to
tighten and loosen threaded pipes, serrated jaws that automatically fit onto a
soft iron pipe and pipe fittings.
Socket wrench
A socket wrench resembles a
hollow cylinder that sits on one end of the nut or bolt, allowing you to remove
it easily and safely than other wrenches. It may or may not include a handle.
It generally has a six-point, eight-point or twelve-point recess, may be shallow
or deep, and may have a built-in universal joint
