Shimano Headset

There used to be a "rule of thumb" to always use an adjustable wrench so that the force is against the fixed jaw. I have proved this rule myself. I was squatting down tightening the bolts that held a large vise to a bench. The wrench didn't fit in its proper orientation so I flipped it over and pushed against the movable jaw. I proved, at least to my own satisfaction, that (1) an adjustable wrench used in this manner will slip, and (2) a broken nose Hurts! Ha! I've heard the rule and some people insist it be adhered to even for fixed wrenches! Well, I suppose the smaller jaw is the one that corresponds to the movable jaw. But really I think this is just something they have brought over from using adjustable wrenches. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
