wrench
A wrench (or spanner outside of North America) is a tool used to provide grip and mechanical advantage in applying torque to turn objects—usually rotary fasteners, such as nuts and bolts—or keep them from turning.
In Commonwealth English (excluding Canada), spanner is the standard term. The most common shapes are called open-ended spanner and ring spanner. The term wrench is generally used for tools that turn non-fastening devices (e.g. tap wrench and pipe wrench), or may be used for a monkey wrench - an adjustable spanner.
In North American English, wrench is the standard term. The most common shapes are called open-end wrench and box-end wrench. In American English, spanner refers to a specialised wrench with a series of pins or tabs around the circumference. (These pins or tabs fit into the holes or notches cut into the object to be turned.) In American commerce, such a wrench may be called a spanner wrench to distinguish it from the British sense of spanner.
Higher quality wrenches are typically made from chromium-vanadium alloy tool steels and are often drop-forged. They are frequently chrome-plated to resist corrosion and for ease of cleaning.
Hinged tools, such as pliers or tongs, are not generally considered wrenches in English, but exceptions are the plumber wrench (pipe wrench in British English) and Mole wrench (sometimes Mole grips in British English).

I am selling my NIB Snap-on 1/2" Drive Heavy-Duty Air Impact Wrench model # MG725.
I only undid the plastic wrap and put the boot over it and put it back in the box and never used it.
It was a gift from a family member, and I do not use air tools.
More info on it from Snap-on website.

Anyone have an SWS Barrel wrench I can borrow for a few days? I'm building a rifle for buddy of mine from the Corps and the Noveske/SWS rail he picked out has an SWS nut. This doesn't have any flats on it and is not sized to use a normal barrel wrench. I know I can attempt to use a spanner...
Magpul D60 is brand new but I did take it out of the box and fondle it a bit. Never loaded, and never fed my rifle. Armorer's wrench is also brand new. Not looking for trades at the moment. $130 for both or $90 shipped for the d60 and $50 shipped for the wrench. Also have a like new viper...

I know this is a light weight question, but when I buy something I want to buy the best I can.I need a new torque wrench. Do you have one that you are really like. You know, the one you will pass on to a son. Thanks
