I. What is a wrench?
A wrench is a hand tool designed to remove nuts, bolts and other accessories on machinery and equipment. Wrenches are usually made of cast steel or high-strength alloy steel to ensure that the wrench has great strength and does not bend during operation.

A wrench usually has two heads with two different jaw sizes and can be used to turn two different nut sizes. Wrenches are compact and convenient tools, so they are very popular not only in the family but also in repair and maintenance activities of other industries such as: auto repair, mechanics, electricity, etc.

II. What is a wrench?
A wrench is also a hand tool used to tighten and turn nuts and bolts. The difference between a wrench and other types of wrenches is that a wrench has two jaws: one fixed jaw and one adjustable jaw. Therefore, a wrench can be used to tighten many different nut sizes instead of 1 or 2 types like a wrench. Also because of its versatility, the price of a wrench is often higher than that of a wrench.

Common wrench sizes used in households are 4-6 inches and 8-10 inches. Wrenches are often made from hard metals such as steel, cast iron, chrome, etc., which can be tightened and twisted with great force without affecting the shape of the wrench.
III. How are wrenches and spanners different?
Wrenches and pliers have in common the fact that they are tools used to tighten and unscrew nuts. They are commonly used in the repair and maintenance of machinery and equipment. Wrenches can be considered a special form of wrenches. The only difference between the two tools is that the pliers have a movable jaw that can be changed to fit many different bolt sizes. Therefore, wrenches are more flexible than wrenches.

IV. Notes when using wrenches and pliers
When using a wrench : because each type of wrench is only suitable for one nut size, before using you must determine the size of the nut, to choose the appropriate wrench size. The jaw of the wrench must fit the screw head to be tightened in order to be able to operate, at the same time, ensure that the screw head is not deformed.

When using a wrench : You need to place the wrench jaws in the position to be tightened, then adjust the roller so that the two jaws are in tight contact with the screw head before applying force to tighten or turn the screw.

Do not use too much force : when operating a wrench, be careful to use a moderate amount of force. If you use too much force, it may deform or wear out the screw head, and may also cause the handle of the wrench or wrench to bend.
