A low-torque application often suits an adjustable or crescent wrench, as it provides versatility and is handy for fasteners that don't need excessive force. Another type of wrench that can do the job is an open-end wrench.
To use an open-end wrench, select the appropriate size for the fastener. Slide the wrench onto the nut or bolt, ensuring a snug fit.
Use the fixed jaws to grip the flats of the fastener and turn the wrench in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
For a crescent wrench, adjust the jaw size by turning the thumbwheel. Place the adjustable jaw onto the fastener, ensuring a tight fit. Use the tool to turn the fastener, adjusting the width as needed.
Crescent wrenches offer versatility but may be less precise than open-end wrenches.
