Backup Wrenches


	Head and Handle Sold Separately

When you’re working with high torque, these wrenches keep the nut from turning as you tighten a bolt. You'll need a head and a handle to form a complete wrench. The head goes around the nut you want to hold stationary and the handle braces against an adjacent nut, absorbing the torque. They're often used when sealing large pipe flanges with a hydraulic torque wrench. Safer than striking wrenches, they stay securely on the nut until you release them.

Deep-Offset Striking Box Wrenches

The head is offset 45° to provide clearance for reaching over obstructions. Also known as slugging wrenches, strike the handle with a hammer to break stuck fasteners free.

Open-End Wrenches

Round

Opening

Adjust fasteners in tight spots such as motor housings, HVAC systems, and under sinks when you can't get a grip from the top. Slip around nuts and bolts from the side, unlike box wrenches that require more space to fit over fasteners. These wrenches are ASME or DIN 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.

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.

Don't wrestle with stuck fasteners. Strike the handle with a hammer to break them free. Designed to take the hits, these wrenches are drop forged for added strength and will be part of your toolbox for life. Also known as slugging wrenches.

Round Opening—The rounded edges spread force evenly to prevent stripping your fasteners. Use them on hex-head fasteners.

Wrench Heads


Wrench and Socket Extension Not Included

Reach nuts obstructed by a fluid line or other barrier with these wrench heads. 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. Also known as crowfoot wrenches.

Combination Wrenches

12-Point

Opening

Your go-to wrenches for routine maintenance. With two different ends, you need fewer tools to tighten and loosen nuts and bolts. The open end slides onto the side of fasteners for adjustments in tight spots. When nuts and bolts won't budge, the box end fully encircles them to apply maximum torque. Drop forged for added strength, these wrenches will be part of your toolbox for life.

12-Point Opening—The most common opening, these wrenches work on hex and 12-point nuts and bolts. They slide onto hex heads at more angles than 6-point fasteners for quicker engagement, but they're more likely to slip when you apply more torque.

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.

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.

Dull—With a textured finish, these wrenches won't slip out of your hands, even when greasy or oily.

Deep-Offset High-Leverage Box Wrenches

A 45° offset head provides clearance for reaching over obstructions. These wrenches have a long handle for extra leverage—add an extension to increase it even more.

Tight-Clearance Open-End Wrenches

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.
