Stubby Wrenches For Tight Places
Stubby wrenches are tools that are designed with shorter handles so they can be used in tight spaces where standard wrenches would prove difficult—or even impossible—to use. Consider today’s car and truck engines—they are often built so tightly that it’s difficult to get a standard tool into some areas. For example, the bolts holding the alternator or starter in place can be removed more easily when the wrench has a short handle. Unlike standard wrenches that have a long shaft, short handles won’t bump up against the engine block—or cause the mechanic to tear up his knuckles. And being able to do that kind of repair at home instead of at a mechanic’s shop is well worth the price of a new set of tools that can be used again and again.
These stout implements are also handy for turning nuts or bolts that are manufactured from more delicate materials like aluminum. Motorcycles and bicycles often have parts made of softer alloys. Because the torque used on such metals isn’t as heavy, the chance of stripping threads is less likely than with a traditional wrench.
Of course stubby wrenches are useful for more than car repair and maintenance. They come in handy around the house and garden, too. They make replacing stair balusters easier because of improved turning ration. Replacing the blades on the lawnmower is a simpler task. Plumbing repairs go more smoothly, too, when the long handles of standard tools aren’t getting in the way. And implements with shorter handles take up less room in the tool box or utility cabinet. Finally furniture building and repair becomes less frustrating when the tool fits the job…and the user’s hand.

Many quality tool manufacturers make stubby wrenches. The tools come in a variety of sizes—metric or standard—and prices, making them fit any handyman’s needs or wallet. They’ll fit into spaces that won’t accommodate tools of a regular size and so make an excellent addition to every tool box.
