This is the ideal combination spanner/wrench.You may not like it,but this is what peak performance looks like.

and 2 of these in SAE and 2 in metric make life wonderful, because you can crawl under a vehicle with 4fucking wrenches in each one.

i honestly dont like spanners, i find they're actually HARDER to get onto a nut i cant see

im just more comfortable sliding a thing forward than trying to lock it on from the top i guess

im guessing im alone and retarded in this; when i did damage control school, we had that style of wrench-spanner for turning bolts on skinner seals, and the instructor asked me with this confused look on his face why I used the wrench part and not the spanner part

I've grown up in the southern US, I've always heard wrenches called open-ended, box, combination(like in ops pic), flare, and adjustable/Crescent. Designation between 6 and 12 sided are the only other things I can think of.

Other than weird ones like dog bone or ratcheting wrenches, what do other call them and what location?

nice question but anon you already know everything there is to know about hand wrenches.

i used the part with the open front bit instead of the roundy turny side to turn the whoosywhatsit

also at home i use crescent wrenches and an automatic wrench for everything. there is literally nothing wrong with adjustible wrenches

They are good for mechanic But they are useless for connections (e.g. water pipes)

>> No.1224705

I use the box end when a socket won't work, I use the open end if the box end won't work. I use a torch if nothing works.

But it'd open and box, not spanner and wrench. And a torch is hot gas, not a flashlight. There should be a guide for this.
