Answer of What is a Wrench?
The wrench is one of the most basic and essential tools for engaging or disengaging nuts and bolts. Most wrenches are made of pure metals like steel or bronze so that they do not break or twist when used. However, for electrical work, some wrenches are made of plastic or fiber to avoid electric shocks.
How Does a Wrench Work?
It embraces the nut or bolts strongly, so you can use them to tighten or loosen them. Some of them are of the same size, while others have a small screw or pin, which one can use to change the size of the wrench to fit nuts and bolts of different sizes.
Where Are Wrenches Used?
Wrenches are used in many works, including Car repairs, Plumbing, Furniture assembly, and Electrical work.
The History of the Wrench
Wrenches have been in use for 100 of years. The first were made to engage wooden barrel nuts. In the 1800s, Swedish inventor Johan Petter Johansson created the adjustable wrench. It was not until the end of the century that Daniel C. Stillson created the first pipe wrench. Over the years, wrenches have become very important tools for mechanics, plumbers, and builders.
What Can You Use Instead of a Wrench?
Pliers—They can grip and turn small nuts and bolts.
Spanner—It looks like a wrench but has a different shape.
Wrenches are some of the most valuable tools used in houses, garages, and workshops. Having a good wrench makes the work much more straightforward when repairing a car, building or assembling furniture, or even doing plumbing.

Currently, I run my own workshop in partnership with my friend Aadie.
One day, I needed a tool, so I read a lot of reviews. Every review had something different to say about the same tool—some mentioned weight differences, others talked about height variations, and even the pictures looked different. Honestly, I was really confused. But when I finally bought the tool, I realized that 60% of what was mentioned in the reviews wasn’t true at all.
That made me think—if I faced such a problem, what about those who rely entirely on online reviews to buy tools? This thought pushed me to start a blog dedicated to tool reviews.
I promise to do my best to share only the most accurate information—either from my personal testing or from the knowledge of the workshop experts I work with. I'll only write about what I truly know. If I don't know something, I'll be honest about it. But if you really need detailed information about a tool, I'll gather the necessary details for you.
You can also reach out to me directly. I hope you’ll find my reviews helpful, and if you ever think they aren’t, please let me know! Your feedback and suggestions will help me improve and ensure that my content is clear, informative, and truly useful for you.
