What is the fundamental difference between a wrench and a winch for cable installation?
2025-08-16The difference between a wrench and a winch is a matter of both function and scale.
-
A Wrench (Hand Tool): A wrench is a small, manual tool that applies torque to a single component, like a bolt. It's used for assembly or disassembly in a fixed location.
-
A Winch (Machine): A winch is a powerful, heavy-duty machine that generates linear pulling force over a long distance. It's designed to move massive loads, such as a heavy power cable, through conduits or over poles. The winch applies a continuous, controlled pulling force, while a wrench applies a twisting force to a single point.
