The Wrench

 

Every well-stocked toolbox needs a wrench or two or ten, anyway, I have the nuts and bolts of this handy tool! There are a couple of basic styles: Adjustable and Fixed Head. ADJUSTABLE: Use adjustable wrenches for a variety of household jobs; you can change their size to fit your needs. When using this type pull on the handle so that the fixed jaw is applying the pressure rather than the weaker adjustable jaw. FIXED WRENCHES: Squeeze into tighter spaces and are less likely to slip.

OPEN ENDED WRENCHES: help you when you can only access a nut from one side because it's "c" shaped head will easily slip into place.

BOX WRENCHES: Which have a closed head give you more control but you have to have room to slip the closed wrench over the top of the nut.

ALLEN WRENCHES: Are used to turn headless set screws often found in unassembled furniture and children's items.

A NUT DRIVER: Works more like a screwdriver than a wrench but has various sized sockets at the end to fit over the heads of nuts, bolts and screws!
