The 6 Best Open-End Wrench Sets – Guidebook

Open-end wrenches allow you to tighten and loosen various screws and nuts. So that you are best equipped for different sizes of screws, an open-end wrench set is the best choice.

Find out through our checklist what is important when buying an open-end wrench set and find the right set for you in our product recommendations.

Open-End Wrench Checklist

Die Qualität
  • Open-end wrenches, which are often also referred to as open-end wrenches, are ideally made of chrome vanadium steel.
  • In addition to the material, however, the workmanship also plays a decisive role. Cheap variants are often uncleanly worked. The inner profiles can have burrs, for example, on which you could easily injure yourself.
  • A so-called chip removal process is used in the manufacture of open-end wrenches. Unevenness known as space marks can occur during the milling process. In the case of poor quality wrenches, you can usually see these defects with the naked eye. If in doubt, you should carry out an additional haptic test.
  • Poorly made open-end wrenches not only increase the risk of injury, they can also rust very quickly and thus become unusable.
  • We therefore recommend that you pay less attention to a low price and more to quality. In the long run, you will have little pleasure with an inferior open-end wrench set and will probably soon have to buy a new, better set.
Varianten des klassischen Maulschlüssels
  • The most common are double open-end wrenches, which have a jaw at both ends. You will often find a combination of the most common sizes 10 mm and 13 mm in individual wrenches.
  • In a set, double open-end wrenches save you an extensive tool collection.
  • They are less often found in a set. But there are also open-end wrenches that you can adjust in the width across flats. You may know this variant under the colloquial name Englishman. However, you can work more comfortably with a complete open-end wrench set, since you do not have to constantly readjust the width.
Maulschlüssel Sets – warum Du gleich zwei Sets kaufen solltest
  • Usually one set contains all common sizes. The sizes 13 mm, 15 mm, 17 mm and 19 mm are needed most. Since you will often be faced with the problem of having to loosen or tighten a lock nut with a second open-end wrench, a second set can save you a lot of effort and time.
  • By the way: The larger the set, the more options you have. So it can be advantageous to buy an open-end wrench set that contains far more sizes than the usual standard versions.

Tip: You can find many measuring tools in our guide to calipers.
