hether you're thinking, doing, wondering or just messing around, there are
usually two ways to do a job. One's right, the other's wrong.
The same goes for adjustable wrenches, because there's a right and wrong
way to use them. The right, fitting and proper way means:
In other words, adjustable wrenches
shouldn't
be used so the "pull" or force
is directed on the adjustable jaw. It's the stationary jaw that's rigged to take the
heavy stuff.
WRONG
RIGHT
• Less wear on the wrench
• Less danger of slippage
• More and safer leverage
• Less chance of damaging the nut
• Tighter fit, if needed
• Less huffing, puffing and
knuckle-busting for you

Called a degreaser, the cleaning
system measures 23 x 17 x 6 3/4 inch-
es and can be powered by a generator.
The degreaser uses a solvent that's
environmentally compliant and a filter
that captures particles as small as 1/10
micron in diameter.
Order the degreaser with NSN
