I'm not sure what there is to "explain" about them; they're spanners ("wrenches") that are made of an alloy containing chromium.

What is the difference between chrome vanadium and black chrome mechanics tools?

Nearly all quality mechanics' tools are made from a chrome-vanadium-steel alloy to give them strength. As a final step in the manufacturing process, the tools are electroplated in some way to keep them from corroding and to give them a shiny, long lasting appearance. On mechanics' tools, the final electroplated finish is usually a bright chrome finish, and sometimes a matte (dull) chrome finish. In recent years Black Chrome has become a popular electroplated finish, and the black chrome mechanics' tools are using that for the final manufacturing process, and they look shiny black in color. To recap: chrome-vanadium describes the alloy of the tool, and black chrome describes the actual color.
