    12-Point Sure-Grip

    Opening

    Grip more of your fastener head with these wrench heads. They have a hex or 12-point opening with more surface area than rounded wrench heads, so they make more contact with fasteners for a better hold. Also known as flare-nut crowfoot wrenches or line wrenches, they're often used with flared tube fittings as well as fuel and hydraulic lines. Connect them to your socket extension and ratchet wrench to turn fasteners where clearance is limited from both the top and side. You can also attach one directly to your ratchet wrench to convert it into an open-ended ratcheting wrench.
    12-Point Sure-Grip Opening—Wrenches with a 12-point sure-grip opening quickly position on hex fasteners.

    Round

    Opening

    Twist thin fasteners in cramped spots where other wrenches are too bulky. With a head and handle about half as thick as standard wrenches, it's easier to grip nuts found in electrical enclosures and small machinery. These wrenches are ASME certified—they handle more torque than run-of-the-mill alternatives and precisely fit fasteners so they don't round them off. Drop forged for added strength, they will be part of your toolbox for life. Also known as check nut or service wrenches.
    Round Opening—The rounded edges spread force evenly to prevent stripping your fasteners. Use them on hex-head fasteners.
    Black-Oxide Steel—The dark, matte coating protects these wrenches from wear and won't flake off. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, though, so they're best for dry environments.
    Chrome-Plated Steel—The most popular finish, these wrenches won't rust or chip. Although they withstand moisture better than black oxide, they don't hold up to harsh chemicals as well as stainless steel.
    Dull—With a textured finish, these wrenches won't slip out of your hands, even when greasy or oily.
