Summary edit

Description
English: A Royal Air Force bomb disposal expert carefully attaches a Rocket Wrench to the tail of a 1000lb bomb during a training exercise at RAF Wittering, Cambridgeshire.

The Rocket Wrench is a robust high torque wrench, developed for the MoD as a means of unscrewing fuses from explosive devices at a safe distance. It is designed to be used by EOD/IED Bomb Technicians and by Military Bomb Squad personnel, to assist in the defusing of unexploded bombs, grenades and other unscrew type explosive devices such as fire extinguishers or household gas cylinders that have been converted into IEDs.
