Can you touch a car battery with a wrench?

only if it's off The plastic body of the battery, or one of the terminals, yes, BUT... disconnected from the vehicle or not, DO NOT allow any metallic object to touch BOTH of the battery's terminals [Positive and Negative] AT THE SAME TIME. This is because that touching both terminals at the same time with any conducting metal such as a wrench will create a SHORT CIRCUIT, and COULD cause the battery to explode, throwing shrapnel and battery acid everywhere for several feet around the shorted battery.

Why we feel an electric shock when we touch an electric circuit and not when we touch the terminals of a battery?

Most household batteries don't provide enough voltage difference for you to feel. For example, holding a "C" cell battery with a finger on each terminal is only 1.5 volts, and your skin provides enough resistance so that no current will flow through your body. If you moisten your finger and touch both terminals of a 9-volt battery, you may feel a little tingle in your finger. DO NOT touch the terminals of a 12-volt car battery; you could be injured or killed. At the very least, it would knock you on your butt.
