Open End Slugging Wrenches are referred to by many different names. Among them are Slogging wrench, Hammer Wrench, and Striking Wrench. No matter what you call Open End Slugging Wrenches, they are designed to be hit with a hammer so you may apply a greater torque on the nut than you could with a traditional wrench. Alternatively, Open End Slugging wrenches can used to break loose stubborn nuts. They are used in many industries such as Ship building, on oil platforms, bridge construction, and heavy equipment. An unusual use was by the U.S. Navy underwater maintenance team for use on the USS Arizona. |
