Our selection of wrenches and spanners is designed to meet a wide range of applications, from light household repairs to heavy-duty industrial work. Different wrench types serve different purposes, and using the right tool ensures better results and longer tool life.

Wrenches and spanners are commonly used in:
• Mechanical and automotive repair
• Plumbing and piping work
• Workshops and factories
• Construction and M&E projects
• Home DIY and renovation tasks

Choosing the correct wrench type ensures secure grip, accurate tightening, and reduced risk of damage to nuts, bolts, and fittings.

Adjustable Wrenches for Versatile Tightening

An adjustable wrench is one of the most versatile tools in any toolbox. With an adjustable jaw, it can fit a range of fastener sizes, reducing the need to carry multiple fixed-size spanners.

Adjustable wrenches are ideal for:
• General maintenance and repair
• Plumbing and mechanical work
• DIY tasks and on-the-go repairs

Because of their flexibility, adjustable wrenches are commonly used by technicians and homeowners alike. They are especially useful when working in tight spaces or when fastener sizes vary frequently.

Combination, Box End & Ring Wrenches

Combination wrenches feature an open end on one side and a ring (or box) end on the other, offering versatility and strength in a single tool. Box end wrenches and ring wrenches fully enclose the fastener, providing better grip and torque.

These wrenches are commonly used for:
• Automotive and mechanical repairs
• Machinery assembly and maintenance
• Applications requiring high torque

The ring or box end reduces the risk of slipping, making these wrenches suitable for stubborn or tightly fastened bolts. Fixed-size wrenches are preferred when precision and strength are required.

Socket Wrenches for Speed & Efficiency

A socket wrench uses interchangeable sockets to tighten or loosen fasteners quickly and efficiently. Socket wrenches are widely used in workshops and automotive settings where speed and repeatability are important.

Socket wrenches are ideal for:
• Automotive repair and servicing
• Assembly and disassembly work
• Workshop and industrial applications

With a range of socket sizes, a socket wrench set allows users to handle multiple fasteners without changing tools frequently. This makes socket wrenches a popular choice for professionals and serious DIY users.

Pipe Wrenches for Plumbing Applications

A pipe wrench is specifically designed to grip and turn round objects such as pipes and fittings. Its serrated jaws provide a strong grip, making it ideal for plumbing and piping work.

Pipe wrenches are commonly used for:
• Plumbing and pipe installation
• Maintenance of water and gas lines
• Industrial piping systems

Due to their strong gripping action, pipe wrenches are best suited for metal pipes and fittings where surface marking is not a concern. They are essential tools for plumbers and maintenance technicians.

Chain & Strap Wrenches for Irregular Surfaces

Chain wrenches and strap wrenches are designed to grip irregular, round, or smooth surfaces where traditional wrenches may not work effectively.
• Chain wrenches use a metal chain to grip pipes and cylindrical objects securely.
• Strap wrenches use a flexible strap, making them suitable for polished or delicate surfaces without causing damage.

These wrenches are commonly used for:
• Pipes and fittings of varying diameters
• Oil filters and cylindrical components
• Applications requiring non-damaging grip

They are especially useful in maintenance and repair tasks where conventional tools cannot provide sufficient grip.

Tap Wrenches for Threading & Machining

A tap wrench is a specialised tool used to hold and turn taps during thread cutting. Tap wrenches provide controlled torque, helping create accurate internal threads.

Tap wrenches are ideal for:
• Metalworking and machining
• Thread cutting and repair
• Engineering and workshop use

Precision is critical when cutting threads, and a tap wrench ensures stable and even rotation. This makes it an essential tool for workshops and engineering applications.

How to Choose the Right Wrench or Spanner

Selecting the correct wrench depends on several factors:
• Type of fastener or component
• Required torque and grip strength
• Workspace size and accessibility
• Frequency of use

For versatility, adjustable wrenches are convenient. For strength and precision, combination, ring, or box end wrenches are preferred. For speed, socket wrenches are ideal. Specialised tasks such as plumbing or threading require pipe or tap wrenches.

Using the correct wrench reduces tool wear, improves safety, and ensures better results.
