What is the instrument?

The handle for the heads is a metal handle, which contains a tool in the form of a landing square. Its fastening to the handle is carried out by an end-hinged mechanism.

Tool models vary in shape and size, depending on the conditions in which they are used. A collar for end heads in a plumbing installation is considered one of the most sought-after types of equipment.

The form

The handle for the heads can be presented in the following variants:

• Cranked. The tool is used to work with brittle connections. With it, the fasteners are easily turned out, the connection of which is characterized by a slight load.
• Hinged. This headwheel contains a special hinge that allows you to unfold the tool at any angle. Due to this feature, hinged wrenches are very much in demand for work in hard-to-reach places.
• Option in the form of a screwdriver. It is used for small fasteners.
• T - shaped or L - shaped wrenches. Used when removing transport wheels and wrapping cartridges in machine tools. This wrench for the heads can be found in each body shop.

Additional Items

In addition to the handle and rigging, the wristlet contains:

• Special adapter. To buy it is desirable for those cases when in work it is necessary to apply different rigging.
• Extension. It serves as a lever. Extensions are used to untwist very tightened fasteners, which can not be handled with a conventional key.
• Ratchets. Perform a reverse function in the collars. In order to tighten or unfasten the fasteners, there is no need to reinstall the tool. When the ratchet works, the ratchet allows you to turn the wrench only one way. The weakening or tightening of fasteners, as well as the process of threading using ratchets, occurs much faster.

Kinds

In the plumbing business, it is possible to clamp and rotate the cutting tools using a product such as a wrench as a special holder. For taps, reamers and countersinks there are different types of such holders:

• A collar that squeezes the square shanks, characteristic for the tap, die and countersink.
• Caps holding the dies.
• Products in the form of a wrench.

A trowel for taps and dies is a hand tool. The principle of operation is that threadlocking elements are fixed in the collar. Then the tool turns, thus cutting the thread.

For convenience, they are numbered. So, the collar under No. 1 corresponds to a diameter of 1 inch. Judging by the reviews of consumers, the most popular are the wrenches, the diameters of which are 1 and 1/2 inches.

For what type of joints is the tool intended?

Threaded joints are widely used both in auto service and in all other areas related to equipment repair. Such popularity of this type of connection is explained by the fact that it is characterized by simplicity of installation and dismantling. If necessary, the master also easily and quickly disassembles. Connect the two parts together, using a welding machine. This process takes a minute. But to disassemble this connection quickly does not work. The welding procedure is replaced if there are bolts and nuts. A tool such as a wrench is specially designed to speed up and significantly simplify the master the process of tightening the connection.
