Light: the wrench drives along its jaw onto the hex port, seats with a hit and a small rebound, then torques: the nut snaps a sixth of a turn to its next flat while the wrench kicks clockwise and springs back. Strong: the wrench pulls back first, drives in harder, and turns the nut one flat in two decaying ratchet strokes (40 then 20 degrees). Light and Strong both end a sixth of a turn on, which is the same drawing, so the seated wrench and the nut are the result."

# Tool call animated icon

The tool is called and does its job. Light: the wrench drives along its jaw onto the hex port, seats with a hit and a small rebound, then torques: the nut snaps a sixth of a turn to its next flat while the wrench kicks clockwise and springs back. Strong: the wrench pulls back first, drives in harder, and turns the nut one flat in two decaying ratchet strokes (40 then 20 degrees). Light and Strong both end a sixth of a turn on, which is the same drawing, so the seated wrench and the nut are the result.
