common screwdriver;

you

can damage the

head so

that

the

proper

tool

will

be

unable to

remove it.

Keep

screwdrivers

in

the

proper

condition and

they

will last longer

and

perform

better.

Always

keep

the tip of a common screwdriver

in

good

condition. Figure

7 shows

how to

grind

the tip to

the

proper

shape

if it

becomes damaged.

Note the

symmetrical sides of the tip.

Pliers

Pliers come in a

wide range

of types

and

sizes.

Pliers

are useful

for

cutting,

bending and crimping.

They should never be used to cut

hardened objects

or

to turn bolts or

nuts. Figure 8 shows several

pliers

useful

in

bike

repairs.

Each

type of

pliers

has

a specialized

function.

Gas

pliers

are

general

purpose pliers

and are used

mainly for

holding things and

for

bending.

Vise

Grips are used as

pliers

or to

hold

objects

very

tight

like

a

vise.

Needlenose

pliers

are used to hold

or

bend small

objects. Channel

lock

pliers

can be

adjusted

to

hold various

sizes of objects; the

jaws

remain

parallel

to

grip

around objects

such

as

pipe

or tubing.

There

are

many more

types of

pliers.

The

ones

described

here

are

most suitable for

bike

repairs.

Box and Open-end

Wrenches

Box

and

open-end

wrenches are available

in

sets

or separately

in a

variety

of sizes.

See

Figure 9 and

Figure 10. The size

number stamped

near the end

refers

to the distance

between

2

parallel

flats

on

the

hex

head

bolt or

nut.

Box wrenches

are

usually superior

to open-end

wrenches.

Open-end

wrenches

grip

the

nut on only

2

flats.

Unless the

wrench

fits well, it may slip and

round

off the

points

on the

nut. The box

wrench

grips

all

6

flats.

Both 6-point and

l2-point

openings on box

wrenches

are available.

The

6-point

gives

superior

holding

power;

the

l2-point

allows

a

shorter swing.

Combination

wrenches which are open on one

side

and

boxed

on the

other are also available.

Both ends

are

the

same size.

Adjustable

(Crescent)

Wrenches

An

adjustable

wrench

(also

called crescent

wrench)

can be adjusted

to

fit nearly any

nut or

bolt

head.

See

Figure 11.

However, it can

loosen

and

slip,

causing

damage

to the

nut

and

maybe to

your

knuckles. Use an adjustable

wrench only

when

other

wrenches

are

not

available.

Adjustable wrenches come

in

sizes

ranging

from

4-18

in.

overall.

A

6 or

8

in. wrench

is

recommended

as

an all-purpose

wrench.

Socket Wrenches

This

type

is undoubtedly

the

fastest,

safest

and

most convenient to use. See

Figure 12. Sockets

which

attach to a

ratchet

handle

are

available

with

6-point or

12-point openings

and

l/4,

3/8

and 3/4

inch drives. The drive size

indicates the size

of the

square

hole which

mates with

the

ratchet

handle.

Tbrque Wrench

A torque wrench

is

used

with

a socket to

measure

how

tightly a

nut

or bolt

is

installed.

They

come

in

a

wide

price

range

and

with

either 3/8 or

I/2 in. square drive.

The

drive

indicates

the

size

of

the square drive

which mates with

the

socket.
