Question
box - end wrenches
the box - end wrench is identified by two
ing shaped\ ends, each having 12 - points (double hexagonal) that embrace the shape of the bolt or nut. if force is applied to the wrench, one of the hexagons makes contact with the edges of the nut or bolt on all sides. the large number of contact points allows a relatively large transfer of force.
the box - end wrench has a different size on each end. the box - end is usually offset at a 15° angle to the handle, making the wrench easier to operate in confined spaces. size and shape of box - ends differ; there are straight, offset, double offset and \s - bend\ handle designs. this is usually the case with special tools designed to reach nuts and bolts in the most inaccessible places.
which statement is correct?
a box end has two different sizes at each end.
box - end wrench handles are always straight; the ends are offset at an angle.
box - end wrenches are made from a soft steel alloy.
The text states that the box - end wrench has a different size on each end. There is no mention of the handles always being straight (as there are different handle designs like straight, offset etc.) and no information about the material being a soft steel alloy.
