Wrench Combination Spanner Lightweight with Slim Jaw and Narrow Walls – 7Pcs Set

The Combination Wrench is made of Chrome Vanadium Steel for extra strength and long-lasting use. On one end we have the traditional open end which is used for tightening nuts and bolts and on the other side we have a ring end used for more difficult tightening. Both are the same size, speed, and functionality.

A wrench (or spanner outside of North America) is a tool used to provide grip and mechanical advantage in applying torque to turn objects—usually rotary fasteners, such as nuts and bolts—or keep them from turning.

In Commonwealth English (excluding Canada), spanner is the standard term. The most common shapes are called open-ended spanners and ring spanners. The term wrench is generally used for tools that turn non-fastening devices (e.g. tap wrench and pipe wrench) or may be used for a monkey wrench – an adjustable spanner.^[1]

In North American English, the wrench is the standard term. The most common shapes are called open-end wrenches and box-end wrenches. In American English, a spanner refers to a specialized wrench with a series of pins or tabs around the circumference. (These pins or tabs fit into the holes or notches cut into the object to be turned.) In American commerce, such a wrench may be called a spanner wrench to distinguish it from the British sense of spanner.

Higher-quality wrenches are typically made from chromium-vanadium alloy tool steels and are often drop-forged. They are frequently chrome-plated to resist corrosion and for ease of cleaning.

Hinged tools, such as pliers or tongs, are not generally considered wrenches in English, but exceptions are the plumber wrench (pipe wrench in British English) and Mole wrench (sometimes Mole grips in British English).
