How to use an adjustable wrench properly

3. Do not use it on screws that are too small

If you've ever tried to use an adjustable wrench on a tiny screw , you've probably noticed a lack of grip .

Why? The design of the tool does not allow for optimal grip on very thin elements .

Solution: In these cases, use a flat wrench or a suitable socket instead .

4. Position it the wrong way around
One detail that changes everything : always orient the adjustable wrench so that the moving part is on the side opposite the force exerted.

Why? This provides better control and reduces the risk of slipping . A poor grip can cause you to lose precision or even damage your equipment if the wrench slips.
