अलग-अलग आकार-प्रकार के कुछ पाने (रिंच)

प्रकार

	अमेरिकी नाम	ब्रिटिश नाम	वर्णन	समूह
	open-end wrench	खुले सिरे वाला पाना (open-ended spanner)	A one-piece wrench with a U-shaped opening that grips two opposite faces of the bolt or nut. This wrench is often double-ended, with a different-sized opening at each end. The ends are generally oriented at an angle of around 15 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the handle. This allows a greater range of movement in enclosed spaces by flipping the wrench over.	common
	box-end wrench	ring spanner	A one-piece wrench with an enclosed opening that grips the faces of the bolt or nut. The recess is generally a six-point or twelve-point opening for use with nuts or bolt heads with a hexagonal shape. The twelve-point fits onto the fastening at twice as many angles, an advantage where swing is limited. Eight-point wrenches are also made for square-shaped nuts and bolt heads. Ring spanners are often double-ended and usually with offset handles to improve access to the nut or bolt.	common
	combination wrench	combination spanner	A double-ended tool with one end being like an open-end wrench or open-ended spanner, and the other end being like a box-end wrench or ring spanner. Both ends generally fit the same size of bolt.	common
	flare-nut wrench tube wrench line wrench	flare spanner flare nut spanner brake spanner crow's-foot spanner	A wrench that is used for gripping the nuts on the ends of tubes. It is similar to a box-end wrench but, instead of encircling the nut completely, it has a narrow opening just wide enough to allow the wrench to fit over the tube, and thick jaws to increase the contact area with the nut. This allows for maximum contact on plumbing nuts, which are typically softer metals and therefore more prone to damage from open-ended wrenches.	common
	ratcheting box wrench	ratcheting ring spanner	A type of ring spanner, or box wrench, whose end section ratchets. Ratcheting can be reversed by flipping over the wrench, or by activating a reversing lever on the wrench. This type of wrench combines compact design of a box wrench, with the utility and quickness of use of a ratchet wrench. A variety of ratcheting mechanisms are used, from simple pawls to more complex captured rollers, with the latter being more compact, smoother, but also more expensive to manufacture. The one pictured also features a drift pin on the tail.	common
	flex-head socket wrench Saltus wrench	?	Similar in concept to a socket wrench. A Saltus wrench features a socket permanently affixed to a handle. Sockets are not interchangeable as with a socket wrench. The socket often rotates around the handle to allow the user to access a fastener from a variety of angles. Commonly a Saltus wrench is part of a double-ended wrench, with an open-end type head on the opposite side from the socket head.	common
	spanner wrench or simply spanner [referring to any of these]; [when specifying pin vs hook vs C, the same terms are used as in British English]	pin spanner hook spanner C spanner pin face spanner	A wrench with one or several pins or hooks, designed to drive spanner head screws, threaded collars and retainer rings, shafts, and so on. Note the difference in the American and British senses of the word "spanner". In American English, "spanners" are a subset of the class of tools called "wrenches".	common
	striking face box wrench slammer wrench slugger wrench hammer wrench	slogging spanner flogging spanner	This is a specialized thick, short, stocky wrench with a block end to the handle specifically designed for use with a hammer, enabling one to impart great force. Used commonly with large fasteners, especially a nut and stud which both have index marks: the nut is screwed hand-tight, then further tightened with the striking wrench a known number of index marks calculated from the elasticity of the bolt or stud, thus giving precise torque (preload). Striking wrenches also provide shock and high force used to release large and/or stuck nuts and bolts; and when space does not allow room for a large wrench.	common
	adjustable wrench adjustable end wrench Crescent wrench	adjustable spanner shifting spanner shifter wrench	The most common type of adjustable wrench in use today. The adjustable end wrench differs from the monkey wrench in that the gripping faces of the jaws are displaced to a (typically) 15 degree angle relative to the tool's handle, a design feature that facilitates the wrench's use in close quarters. The modern adjustable end wrench was invented by Johan Petter Johansson of Bahco. The common use of "Crescent wrench" to describe this design is derived from the Crescent brand, owned by Apex Brands, Inc. Apex Tool Group, LLC.	adjustable
	self-adjusting wrench	self-adjusting spanner	With a serrated jaw which is self-tightening.	adjustable
	monkey wrench	gas grips	An old type of adjustable wrench with a straight handle and smooth jaws whose gripping faces are perpendicular to the handle.	historical
	pipe wrench	Stillson wrench Stillsons	A tool that is similar in design and appearance to a monkey wrench, but with self-tightening properties and hardened, serrated jaws that securely grip soft iron pipe and pipe fittings. Sometimes known by the original patent holder's brand name as a "Stillson wrench".	adjustable
	socket wrench	socket wrench socket spanner	A hollow cylinder that fits over one end of a nut or bolt head. It may include a handle, if it does not then it is often just referred to as a socket and is usually used with various drive tools to make it a wrench or spanner such as a ratchet handle, a tee bar (sliding tommy bar) bar or a knuckle bar (single axis pivot). It generally has a six-point, eight-point or twelve-point recess, may be shallow or deep, and may have a built-in universal joint. (The photo shows both ratchet and sockets.)	socket
	breaker bar break-over handle	knuckle bar jointed nut spinner flex head nut spinner	This tool is a long non-ratcheting bar that allows the user to impart considerable torque to fasteners, especially in cases where corrosion has resulted in a difficult-to-loosen part.	socket
	crowfoot wrench crow's-foot wrench	crow's foot	A type of socket designed to fit some of the same drive handles as the regular socket but non-cylindrical in shape. The ends are the same as those found on the open-end, box-end, or the flare-nut wrenches. These sockets use for use where space restrictions preclude the use of a regular socket. Also used in place of conventional open/box wrenches where the wrenches are large, so the crow's-foot wrench is much cheaper, or where space and weight are at a premium, for example mobile tools.	socket
	ratchet wrench	ratchet handle	It contains a one-way mechanism which allows the socket to be turned without removing it from the nut or bolt simply by cycling the handle backward and forward. (The photo shows both ratchet and sockets.)	socket
	speed handle speed wrench	speed handle crank handle speed brace	A crank-shaped handle that drives a socket. The socket-driving analog of the brace used to drive a drill bit. Used instead of a ratchet in a few contexts when it can save substantial time and effort—that is, when there is a lot of turning to be done (many fasteners), ample room to swing the handle, ample access to the fastener heads, etc. Has less leverage than a conventional ratchet wrench. Used occasionally in automotive repair or job shop work.	socket
	torque wrench	torque wrench	A socket wrench drive tool that is employed to impart a precise amount of torque to a fastener, essential in many cases during the assembly of precision mechanisms.	socket
	Allen wrench Allen key hex key	Allen key	A wrench used to turn screw or bolt heads designed with a hexagonal socket (recess) to receive the wrench. The wrenches come in two common forms: L-shaped and T-handles. The L-shaped wrenches are formed from hexagonal wire stock, while the T-handles are the same hex wire stock with a metal or plastic handle attached to the end. There are also indexable-driver-bits that can be used in indexable screwdrivers.	keys
	Bristol wrench Bristol spline wrench	?	Another wrench designed for internal socket-head screws and bolts. The cross-section resembles a square-toothed gear. Not a common design, it is chiefly used on small set screws.	keys
	Torx wrench	Torx key	An internal socket-head screw design. The cross-section resembles a star. Commonly used in automobiles, automated equipment, and computer components as it is resistant to wrench cam-out and so suitable for use in the types of powered tools used in production-line assembly.	keys
	alligator wrench	?	A formerly common type of wrench that was popular with mechanics, factory workers, and farmers for maintenance, repair and operations tasks in the days when fasteners often had square rather than hex heads. The wrench's shape suggests the open mouth of an alligator.	historical
	cone wrench	cone spanner	A thin open-end wrench used to fit narrow wrench flats of adjustable bearing bicycle hubs. Called a "cone" wrench because it fits wrench flats of the cone section of a "cup and cone" hub, this tool is also used with some other adjustable hub bearings. The wrench is very thin so has little strength; to compensate, cone wrenches typically have a large head. Most bicycle front hubs use a 13 mm; most rears use 15 mm.	specialty
	die-stock die wrench[उद्धरण चाहिए] || die stock die holder || A double-handled wrench for turning the dies used in threading operations (cutting the male threads such as on a bolt). || specialty
	drum key lug wrench drum wrench	drum key	A small, square-head socket wrench used on drum (percussion musical instrument) tuning lugs and fasteners. This key is often interchangeable with radiator bleed keys.	specialty
	spark plug wrench	box spanner tube spanner	A tube with six-sided sockets on both ends. It is turned with a short length of rod (tommy bar or T bar) inserted through two holes in the middle of the tube.	common
	drum wrench bung wrench	?	A tool commonly used to open bungs on large 55-gallon drums (cylindrical containers).	specialty
	fire hydrant wrench (hose connection)	?	The hose connection has a threaded collar with a protruding pin. From the handle of the wrench an arc has at its end a loop to engage the pin.	specialty
	fire hydrant wrench (valve operator)	?	This is a pentagonal (five-sided) box wrench. The unusual shape of the lug makes the valve tamper-resistant: with the opposite faces nonparallel, unauthorized opening of the hydrant is more difficult without a suitable tool.	specialty
	curb key	Toby key	This is a wrench for opening and closing valves on municipal water pipes (often at the curb, hence the name). The valve usually has a rectangular lug and is set deep into the ground, requiring the key.	specialty
	golf shoe spike wrench	?	A T-handle wrench with two pins and clearance for the spike—allows removal and insertion of spikes in shoes.	specialty
	head nut wrench	?	A flat wrench with a circular hole and two inward protruding pins to engage slots in the nut. This type of nut is used on bicycles to secure the front fork pivot bearing to the headpiece of the frame.	specialty
	4-way lug wrench wheel lug cross wrench cross rim wrench spider wrench	wheel brace	A socket wrench used to turn lug nuts on automobile wheels.	specialty
	oil-filter wrench	oil filter wrench chain wrench	A type of wrench for removing cylindrical oil filters. It may be either a strap-type wrench or a socket.	specialty
	plumber wrench	multigrips multigrip pliers	A tool to screw (rotate with force) various pipes during plumbing.	specialty
	?	rigger-jigger	A spanner used in attaching riggers to rowing boats with offset to allow users fingers to keep grip when flush with boat. 10 mm at one end, 13 mm at the other.	specialty
	basin wrench sink wrench	basin wrench	A self-tightening wrench mounted at the end of a shaft with a transverse handle at the opposite end. Used to tighten or loosen fasteners located in recesses.	specialty
	dogbone wrench	dumbbell spanner	A compact spanner for multiple sizes, usually used for bicycles	specialty
	spoke wrench	nipple wrench spoke key	A wrench with a clearance slot for a wire wheel spoke such as a bicycle wheel and a drive head for the adjustment nipple nut. The handle is offset to make the wrench more convenient to grip, and the handle is short to fit between spokes, allowing the wrench to turn 360 degrees without being removed.	specialty
	spud wrench	podging spanner podger	A steel erecting tool which consists of a normal wrench at one end and a spike (drift pin) at the other, used for lining up bolt holes (typically when mating two pipe flanges).	specialty
	chain whip		A self-tightening wrench that engages the teeth of a chain drive sprocket, and used typically to remove bicycle cogsets. Similar to a strap wrench, but uses positive engagement rather than friction, and so needs to grab only one end of the chain.	specialty
	strap wrench chain wrench	strap wrench chain wrench	A self-tightening wrench with either a chain or strap of metal, leather, or rubber attached to a handle, used to grip and turn smooth cylindrical objects (such as automotive oil filters). It relies entirely on friction between the strap or chain and the object to be manipulated. Similar to a pipe wrench, but uses a chain similar to a drive chain or strap, instead of an adjustable jaw. The links of the chain have extended pegs which fit into grooves in the front of the handle, with one end of the chain attached permanently to the handle. This is used in situations where pipe wrenches cannot maintain a proper grip on an object such as a wet or oily pipe. Larger versions of chain wrenches are sometimes known as "bull tongs" and are used with large diameter pipe such as is used deep wells.	specialty
	tap wrench tap handle T-handle	tap wrench	A double-handled wrench for turning the square drive on taps used in threading operations (cutting the female threads such as within a nut) or a precision reamer.	specialty
	tappet wrench	?	A spanner of small to moderate size constructed similarly to an open ended wrench, but with a thinner cross section. Its purpose is to apply torque to the fasteners found on the valve trains of older engines, especially automobile engines, where the valve train required adjustment of the tappets (also known as lifters). Tappets, push rods, rocker arms and similar adjustable pieces are often equipped with locknuts which are thinner than standard nuts, due to space limitations. Frequently, the hex section of the adjustment is contiguous to the lock nut, thus requiring a thinner "tappet wrench" to be used.	specialty
	tuning wrench	tuning "T" hammer piano tuning lever	A socket wrench used to tune some stringed musical instruments. Similar, and in some cases identical to drum tuning keys, but often provide greater torque due to the higher tension of strings.	specialty
	wing nut wrench		A tool specifically for use with wing nuts, allowing the application of greater torque than is possible by hand. It is generally advised not to use such spanners for tightening the wing nut, but rather only for loosening. It is a "hand saver" more than anything else.	specialty
	graduated wrench[उद्धरण चाहिए] || ? || An adjustable wrench with a small number (usually 2–4) of discrete sizes. This is sometimes used as an inexpensive substitute for a monkey wrench.||
	power wrench	?	A broad type of wrenches that use electricity or compressed air to power the wrench.	power
	impact wrench impact driver	pneumatic spanner windy spanner rattle gun[उद्धरण चाहिए] impact driver Windy gun	A compressed air (pneumatic) powered wrench commonly used in car garages and workshops to tighten and remove wheel nuts. Includes a mechanism to provide repeating pulsed force, good for loosening stuck fasteners and also for overcoming stiction when tightening, to assure consistent tightness.	power
