Which statement describes a box end wrench?

• A. A Wrench With One Open And One Closed End.
• B. A Wrench With Ratchet Movement, Used With A Socket.
• C. A High Torque Wrench With Two Closed Ends.
• D. A Tool Used To Tighten Or Loosen Allen Screws.

Answer: (C)

A box end wrench is defined by its enclosed, ring-shaped ends that grip a bolt or nut from all sides, allowing secure contact and the ability to apply higher torque without slipping. When a tool has two of those enclosed ends, it’s a double box-end configuration, which is a common form described as a box end wrench with two closed ends. This captures the key feature: two closed ends that fully engage the fastener. The other descriptions refer to open-ended wrenches, ratcheting wrenches with sockets, or hex keys, which are different tools and don’t describe the box end’s closed, ring-like ends.
