Workshop wrenches – for car repair and maintenance

Wrenches are essential workshop tools, but their design, use and torque transmission differ. This category includes impact wrenches, hex keys and specialist ROOKS tools. Select a tool for the fastener and how frequently you will use it.

Manual or impact wrench?

Manual tools suit controlled loosening and assembly, while an impact wrench can speed up disassembly. Use a torque wrench for final tightening of fasteners requiring precise torque. Do not confuse the maximum torque advertised on a tool with the working torque appropriate for every task.

What should you check before choosing?

Check the tip or drive size, drive type, wrench length, material and socket compatibility. With cordless tools, consider battery type, charger and what is included in the set.

How can you avoid damaging bolts?

Use the correct profile and size with no play on the fastener head. Do not extend the handle unless the manufacturer allows it. Compare matching sockets and workshop bits.
