A box-end wrench has a different size at each end and is better to usethan an open-end wrench because it touches the bolt or nut around the entire head insteadof at just two places.Figure 1-12. Open-end wrench. Each end has a different-sized opening and is recommendedfor general usage. Do not attempt to loosen or tighten bolts or nuts from or to fulltorque with an open-end wrench because it could round the flats of the fastener.Figure 1-13. Adjustable wrench.

A flat-blade (or straight-blade) screwdriver (on the left)is specified by the length of the screwdriver and the width of the blade.The width of the blade should match the width of the screw slot of thefastener. A Phillips-head screwdriver (on the left) is specified by thelength of the handle and the size of the point at the tip. A #1 is a sharppoint, a #2 is most common (as shown), and a #3 Phillips is blunt andis only used for larger sizes of Phillips-head fasteners.6

Figure 1-11. Box-end wrench. Recommended to loosen or tighten a bolt or nut where a

socket will not fit. A box-end wrench has a different size at each end and is better to use

than an open-end wrench because it touches the bolt or nut around the entire head instead

of at just two places.

Figure 1-12. Open-end wrench. Each end has a different-sized opening and is recommended

for general usage. Do not attempt to loosen or tighten bolts or nuts from or to full

torque with an open-end wrench because it could round the flats of the fastener.

Figure 1-13. Adjustable wrench. The size (12 inches) is the length of the wrench, not how

far the jaws open!

Figure 1-14. A flat-blade (or straight-blade) screwdriver (on the left)

is specified by the length of the screwdriver and the width of the blade.

The width of the blade should match the width of the screw slot of the

fastener. A Phillips-head screwdriver (on the left) is specified by the

length of the handle and the size of the point at the tip. A #1 is a sharp

point, a #2 is most common (as shown), and a #3 Phillips is blunt and

is only used for larger sizes of Phillips-head fasteners.
