As a (Mechanical) engineer, I would respond by saying you turn a bolt with a plastic wrench just like any other wrench, providing the moment of torsion provided by the person turning the wrench does not exceed the shear strength of the wrench material.
- mschuster91 12y agoI'd guess the wrench isn't the problem - rather the nut which is in direct contact with the metal screw's edges and bound to fail very soon. Is it possible to UV-harden the plastic maybe to give it a harder surface?
