The Hand Tools Institute, a trade association of American and Canadian Manufacturers of quality hand tools, warns that an adjustable wrench should never be used to free a "frozen" nut or for final tightening. . For safety and for maximum performance, HTI stresses that- adjustable wrenches should be tightly adjusted to the nut and pulled (never pushed) so the force is on the side of the fixed jaw. HTI also recommends that adjustable wrenches be periodi­ cally inspected for damage to jaws, pins or springs. Damaged parts should be discarded, as shculd any wrench with a spread or damaged fixed jaw or bent handle. Most manufacturers provide replacement parts, re­ pair kits and instructions. Regular pattern adjustable wrenches are available in four to 24 inch lengths while locking adjustable wrenches are offered in sizes six through 12 inches. Another popular type of wrench is the combination box- Discard if damaged For safety, HTI cautions against repairing box-open end wrenches. Any wrench with spread, nicked or battered jaws on the open end, or rounded and damaged points on the box end, should be discarded. According to HTI, never use an extension or a hammer on any wrench handle.
