Question 1 of 27070

Which of the wrenches listed practically eliminates the possibility of it slipping off while tightening a nut or bolt?

🔍 Key Concepts

• The way different wrench jaws contact the flats of a nut or bolt • How many sides of the nut each type of wrench grips at one time • Which wrench types are adjustable versus fixed-size and how that affects slipping

💭 Think About

• Think about which wrench fully surrounds the nut or bolt head instead of only gripping two sides. • Consider which design is least likely to round off or slip off a tight or stubborn fastener. • Ask yourself: When you apply a lot of force, which wrench shape gives the most secure, all-around contact?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option grips all (or most) of the flats of the nut rather than just two. • Check which wrench is not adjustable, because adjustable jaws can increase the chance of slip if not set perfectly. • Visualize common mechanics’ practice: which wrench is preferred when a nut is very tight and you want to minimize slipping and rounding?
