A wrench set is a collection of wrenches that are typically sold together as a set. A wrench, also known as a spanner in some regions, is a hand tool used for tightening or loosening bolts, nuts, or other fasteners. It typically consists of a handle with a fixed or adjustable jaw that grips the fastener.
A wrench set typically includes a variety of wrench sizes and types to accommodate different bolt and nut sizes and shapes. The set may contain combination wrenches, which have an open-end on one side and a closed-end (or box-end) on the other. It may also include open-end wrenches, which have U-shaped, open jaws on both ends, and box-end wrenches, which have closed, box-shaped jaws on both ends.
Additionally, a wrench set may include specialty wrenches such as adjustable wrenches (also known as crescent wrenches) with an adjustable jaw that can be set to different widths, ratchet wrenches with a ratcheting mechanism for continuous rotation, or other types based on the specific set.
Wrench sets are commonly available in a range of sizes, from compact sets with a few wrenches to comprehensive sets with a wide variety of sizes and types. They are typically sold in a storage case or holder to keep the wrenches organized and easy to access.
Wrench sets provide versatility, convenience, and cost savings compared to purchasing individual wrenches separately. They are commonly used in various industries and applications, including automotive repair, plumbing, construction, mechanical work, and DIY projects.
