Complete your hand tool collection by getting an open-end wrench. A particularly useful tool, the open-end wrench will allow you to tighten and loosen bolts easily and quickly. Available in various sizes, this type of wrench features a flat head and is mostly made of chrome-vanadium steel.
The open-end wrench is a tool that you should have at home. Generally, the open-end wrench is equipped with two ends with two jaws, allowing the combination of two sizes for certain models. The angle between the handle and the jaw is usually 15°, which allows you to turn the wrench even in confined spaces. Durable, the flat-head wrench adapts to square or hexagonal head screws as well as bolts. To provide you with maximum comfort during use, some models of open-end wrenches are designed so that you can tighten or loosen in a back-and-forth motion without needing to remove the wrench from the nut. You can find open-end wrenches sold individually or in sets usually ranging from six to twelve wrenches.
