Guide to wrenches: How to use different types of wrenches
Wrenches are essential tools regularly used by both DIY enthusiasts and professionals. Choosing the right wrench involves understanding their specific functions and advantages. This guide will explore the types of wrenches available in POPAR’s range and their applications for various tasks.
Open-end wrenchThe open-end wrench is simple and versatile, ideal for tightening or loosening bolts and nuts of various sizes. Its open jaw allows for a solid grip, which is useful when assembling furniture or performing vehicle repairs. Example: When assembling a bicycle, an open-end wrench can quickly and effectively tighten bolts on the frame or pedals. |  |
Combination wrenchThe combination wrench offers an open-end on one side and a box-end on the other, adding to its versatility. The box-end provides a more secure grip, making it particularly useful for tightening nuts at an angle or in hard-to-reach spaces. Example: When working under a vehicle or in tight spaces, the combination wrench is essential for safely securing nuts. |  |
Universal WrenchUniversal wrenches are designed for tightening or loosening bolts on pipes and other cylindrical objects. They are ideal for plumbing work, where pipes or valves often need adjustment. Example: When replacing pipes or repairing a kitchen faucet, an universal adjustable wrench provides a solid grip and control. |  |
Each type of wrench serves a unique role, and choosing the right one depends on the project requirements. In the POPAR online store, you can find wrenches for every project – from small repairs to large assembly tasks. Choose the one that best suits your needs!
