What is combination wrench used for?
The function of a wrench depends on what type of wrench it is. In general, small flat wrenches have two 'flats' that are sized to particular bolt or nut sizes.These wrenches are used to loosen or tighten nuts onto bolts. The crescent wrench is able to be adjusted to many sizes of nuts and are handy to have in a tight corner when you don't know the size. Ratchet wrenches are used to do up or loosen nuts quickly where movement may be restricted and you have to re-seat an ordinary wrench after each partial turn. Box wrenches have round heads, able to completely encompass the nut and are very useful where nuts are rusted or otherwise extremely tight. Pipe wrenches are usually larger jawed wrenches used to grip large pipe nuts and pipes themselves in plumbing work.

What type and size is the bolt holding the old belt tensioner on a 1994 2.3 Ranger you can't see what type bolt there is it feels like a star or Allen wrench type?
The cap takes a T50, I am looking for the bolt size myself. My mechanic says it is probably metric, I would really like to know before I cut the head off to yank the old tensioner. If you know, please let me know. An additional problem with this job is that the clearance is very tight, I tried to use a l-type torx wrench and a piece of pipe. The head of the bolt unfortunately was already stripped out so I am declaring war on the bolt. This agression will not stand. thanks jack
What you call a wrench that has a pointed in the end?
If you are referring to the type of wrench that usually has an open end to tighten the bolt or nut and a point on the other end...the point is called a "drift pin" and is used to line up the hole that the bolt is going into. That style of wrench is called a "drift pin wrench".

What tools should you use to get the caliper bolts to break loose?
That depends on what type of bolt it is. Some use an Allen wrench while others have a bolt head (ie,1/2 inch or 13mm ect...) The best thing to use on a bolt head is a box end wrench, the rule of thumb is, left to take off. right to tighten. Keep in mind that you are looking at it backwards, so looking at the caliper it would be right to take off and left to put it on. Take the wrench and make sure it is on the bolt head, have the wrench straight up then take the palm of your hand and hit the wrech to your right a little at a time so you don't bust up your hands. The same will go for the Allen wrench.
