A detailed buying guide: how to choose wrenches, sockets, ratchets and torque tools.
This section covers hand wrenches for turning nuts and bolts: open-end, ring, combination, ratcheting and adjustable spanners, sockets, extensions, T-handle and cross wrenches, and wrench sets. They are needed in car service, mechanics, plumbing and everyday repairs. General guidance: what hand tools are and how to choose them.
A combination spanner is open at one end and ring at the other, a ratcheting spanner turns without being removed, an adjustable wrench fits different sizes, and sockets work quickly in deep recesses.
The wrench size must match the nut exactly (mm or inch), otherwise the flats get rounded. The most common sizes are 8-19 mm.
Chrome vanadium (CrV) steel is strong and does not bend under load, and chrome plating protects against rust. Read hand tool materials, hardness, coatings and ergonomics.
A set is better value and includes the most needed sizes, while a single wrench suits a specific job. About tools for car service: how to choose hand tools for automotive and mechanical service.
