SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WITH HAND TOOLS-2

 Wrenches

  1. One should not hammer a wrench to loosen a stubborn fastener, unless the tool has been specially designed for such treatment.
  2. Always pull on a wrench. One can have more control over the tool if pulling instead of pushing is done, and there is less chance of injury.
  3. It is dangerous practice to lengthen the wrench handle for additional leverage. Use a larger wrench.
  4. Choose a wrench that fit properly. A loose fitting wrench may slip and round off the corners of the bolt head and nut.
  5. When using wrenches, clean grease or oil from the floor in the work area. This will reduce the possibility of slipping and losing balance.
