The design balances portability and robustness, making it practical for both workshop and on-site maintenance.

Suitable for

• Opening and tightening nuts on trucks and buses
• Servicing farm and agricultural machinery
• Off-road vehicle maintenance and field repairs
• General workshop fastening and disassembly tasks

Key specifications

• Material: carbon tool steel (CS)
• Manufacturing: drop forged, hardened and tempered
• Socket type: hexagon sockets on both ends
• Accessory: includes T-bar for leverage
• Weight: 3.1 kg (total, handheld tool)
• Compatibility: fits standard socket fittings

How to use

Select the appropriate hexagon socket end that matches the nut or bolt size. Position the socket over the fastener and apply steady force using the T-bar for additional leverage when needed. Turn counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten, maintaining controlled force to avoid rounding the fastener. After use, clean off grease and debris and store the wrench in a dry place to preserve the hardened steel surface.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when working with heavy fasteners. Avoid striking the wrench with a hammer; apply controlled torque with the T-bar. For heavily corroded or seized nuts, apply penetrating lubricant and allow time to work before attempting to loosen. Regularly inspect the sockets for wear and replace the tool if deformation or cracking appears.
