What should you do if a wrench is not fitting correctly?

Using an offset wrench when a regular wrench does not fit correctly is the best course of action. This type of wrench is designed specifically to provide a better grip and access to fasteners in tight or obstructed spaces. By selecting the right tool for the job, you minimize the risk of damaging the fastener or the tool itself.

In scenarios where a regular wrench fails to align properly, attempting to angle the wrench or applying additional force can lead to stripping the fastener or causing personal injury. Similarly, using a hammer to force the wrench into place is not only ineffective but also poses safety risks, such as damaging the tool or injuring yourself if the hammer slips or if the wrench breaks. Choosing the right tool like an offset wrench promotes job efficiency while maintaining safety standards.
