shown in figure 24 on the following page. Offset open-end wrenches make it
possible to turn a nut or bolt that is recessed, and in limited quarters
where there is little space to swing the wrench. Turn the wrench over after
each swing so that the opposite face is down, and the angle of the wrench
opening is reversed, as shown in figure 25 on the following page. Always
place yourself so that you can pull on the wrench to turn the work in the
desired direction.

CAUTION
Do not push on a wrench; if the wrench slips or the
bolt breaks loose suddenly, you may skin your knuckles
and be thrown off balance.
