What is a "wrench"?
A wrench is a tool used to grip and turn objects, typically nuts, bolts, or pipes, to tighten or loosen them. It has a handle and a set of jaws that adjust to fit around the object. Wrenches come in various types, such as adjustable wrenches, which can change size to fit different fasteners, and socket wrenches, which use different-sized sockets to fit over bolts. They are commonly used in mechanical, plumbing, and construction work to provide leverage for turning objects that require force.
