Putting nuts on bolts is often thought of as extremely easy, but this is only true when the proper wrench is used. Without one, it can be a very frustrating experience. Here are a few of the wrenches that most people will need to make everyday life easier.
Open-end wrenches can tackle most nuts and bolts found in household use. They're sized to fit the nut, so they provide a good grip without slipping. Having a set of these wrenches handy makes it easy to remove nuts even if they've been in place for a long time.
When the nut has become seized in place, it may take extra gripping power to make it turn. That's when a Vise Grip adjustable locking wrench can save the day. These wrenches can be clamped onto the nut or bolt for an extra-powerful hold that won't give way even when you apply extra leverage to the part. The trigger release makes it easy to lock the wrench into position and release it once you're finished with it.
Have you ever been frustrated by trying to work on a bolt that can only be turned a little at a time? Make that job easy with a ratchet wrench. With one of these, you don't have to reseat the wrench between strokes. They're great for tight spaces that require a lot of back-and-forth handle motions. Long-handled ratchets have the added benefit of allowing you to apply a lot of leverage to stubborn nuts.
When you're on the road, make sure you have a proper lug wrench. The typical 4-way design allows you to get the leverage you need to move lug nuts ? even those that have been in place for years. You'll always be able to change a flat tire if you keep one of these in the trunk along with your jack.
