Slugging wrenches, also known as hammer wrenches or striking wrenches, are tools used for heavy-duty applications where high torque is required to tighten or loosen large fastener, such as bold and nuts. They are designed to withstand the impact of a hammer or mallet, allowing the user to deliver forceful blows to the wrench without damaging it. Slugging wrenches typically have a box-end or open-end configuration and are commonly used in industries like construction, mining, and maintenance. The ability to apply significant force makes them useful for tasks involving stubborn or rusted fasteners.
