For Delivery Wrenches

A set of different wrenches is a great addition to any tool box. Wrenches are perfect for occasional fix-up jobs around the house or for taking to professional job sites and are as flexible as they are diverse. With a number of different wrench sizes and types to select from, it's easy to match a wrench to any type of task or project. Fill a tool box with other hand tools and equipment to stay on top of repairs.

Open-Jaw and Close-Jawed Wrenches

There are many different types of wrenches, but generally speaking, wrenches work in similar manners, regardless of design. One of the most common types of wrenches are open-ended wrenches, which feature an open, C-shaped jaw that allows fast use, but may not establish as secure of a grip as enclosed-jaw wrenches. For a better fit, choose a box wrench, which uses a fully enclosed jaw to wrap around nuts and bolts. A box wrench must be aligned from above, making operation a bit more difficult than open-ended wrenches. For the best of both worlds, pick up a combination wrench that has an open-end jaw on one side and an enclosed jaw on the other side.

Specialty Wrenches

Capable of working with a number of different nut and bolt sizes, adjustable wrenches feature an open-ended jaw with one jaw that's movable to fit various fasteners. Securely grip pipes using a pipe wrench that has serrated jaws for holding smooth surfaces without slipping. A ratcheting wrench lets you tighten or loosen fasteners without having to disconnect the tool for ease of use, while a stubby wrench enables access to tight, narrow spaces.
