Wrenches are categorized based on the shape of their ends. The most commonly used types for home use are open-end wrenches and box wrenches. Open-end wrenches are used for common nuts and bolts. Box wrenches have ends designed to turn hex and square bolts. Combination wrenches combine the functions of both open-end and box wrenches. You're also likely to find adjustable wrenches and socket wrenches in any well-stocked toolbox.
Wrench kits are a convenient way to get an array of organized, commonly used wrench sizes from smallest to largest.
