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 is the best cordless screwdriver on the market?
Makita, DeWalt, and a few others.
The longest lasting power tools are the Milwaukee brand. They invented the Sawzall and other tools for tradespeople.
All depends on the job and the user, professional tools last the longest under tough use, but are overkill for home users. Rigid (home depot) have lifetime warrenty if you mail in your slip with in 30 days, hitachi has 7 years, and most others have 3 year. Hitachi is the cheapest professional tool, but has less torque (umph!) than the dewalt, bosch, and Milwaukee. Dewalt offers the highest voltage drill 36volt, and Milwaukee makes a 28 volt. Bosch has a quicker charge (15 minutes,) and makita has a ton of fans from older tools that lasted. For the most part if you see the brand in every store, there's a good reason for it, and you really do get what you pay for! I have used dewalt for years, and haven't had a bad tool yet, but its all about getting the right tool for the job.

One thing that tradesmen are taught is that you do not depend on the insulation factor of your tool handles to save you from an electrical shock.

The handle material has to be comfortable in the hand, has to be cheap to produce and that it is an insulating material is secondary.All electrical work should be done in the off condition for safety purposes and it does not matter if the handle is an insulating material or not.
