What is the temperature range recommended for wedges?

• A. 400 Degrees Fahrenheit to -4 Degrees Fahrenheit
• B. -40 Degrees Fahrenheit to 400 Degrees Fahrenheit
• C. 32 Degrees Fahrenheit to 212 Degrees Fahrenheit
• D. 0 Degrees Fahrenheit to 100 Degrees Fahrenheit

Answer: (A)

Wedges must operate safely across a wide range of temperatures because temperature directly affects material strength, brittleness, and the friction needed for a secure bite. The recommended span from -4°F up to 400°F ensures the wedge remains hard enough in the cold and not softened or deformed in the heat, keeping the grip reliable in extreme conditions. Even if the endpoints are written in the opposite order, this range describes the same limits, making it the correct match. Other ranges miss either the very cold side or the very hot side, which could compromise performance and safety in real-world use.
