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.

To fit a 15mm bolt, you should use a 15mm wrench. It's important to ensure the wrench is the correct type—either an open-end, box-end, or socket wrench—to match the specific application. If you only have imperial sizes, a 9/16 inch wrench is close but may not fit as snugly. Always double-check for the best fit to avoid rounding the bolt edges.

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
