Why Use Spline Wrenches and Fasteners

There is no such thing as a strength of a wrench by itself. Its strength depends on the type and strength of the fastener on which it is used and the clearance between the wrench on the fastener. No more torque will be transmitted than the strength of its weakest member, be it the wrench or the fastener. It is much better if the wrench is stronger than the fastener.

New Twist on Wrenches

We cannot do without fasteners to hold things together and fasteners must be turned with wrenches. Wrenches do not appear to have changed much in 50 years, but fasteners certainly have. Most fasteners used to be made with steel with an ultimate strength of 60,000 psi.

How Strong is My Wrench

Tools are very carefully designed and inspected to be in accordance with the American Society Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards, which provide values for strength as well as dimensions. In practice, our designs pack as much strength as we can into the allowable space. This means that we are often substantially stronger than the value in the standard.

How to Avoid Wrenching Problems

The difference between the wrench breaking and not breaking may be just a few percentage points in strength, so the factors discussed here might sound minor, but they can produce very substantial results in time, money, and safety.
