AWTools AW18114 socket wrench (model AW18114) is a robust hand tool intended for tightening and loosening hexagon fasteners. Made of carbon tool steel, the wrench is drop forged, hardened and tempered for increased strength and wear resistance. The tool features a hexagon socket on both ends and is supplied with a T-bar for improved leverage. With a stated weight of 3.2 kg, this socket wrench is designed for demanding workshop and professional use, including heavy vehicle maintenance and other applications where high torque and durability are required.

Advantages

The AWTools AW18114 combines drop forged carbon tool steel construction with heat treatment to provide high durability and resistance to deformation under load. Dual hexagon sockets on both sides allow use with different fastener sizes without additional adapters, while the included T-bar offers adjustable leverage for controlled torque application. The solid, single-piece design reduces the risk of component failure during intensive use.

Suitable for

• Opening and tightening nuts on trucks and buses
• Maintenance of farm and off-road vehicles
• Automotive repair and heavy mechanical assemblies
• Workshop tasks requiring high torque hand tools

Key specifications

• Material: carbon tool steel (CS)
• Manufacturing: drop forged
• Heat treatment: hardened and tempered
• Ends: hexagon socket on both sides
• Includes: T-bar for leverage
• Weight: 3.2 kg

How to use

Select the appropriate hexagon socket end for the fastener size and place it squarely onto the nut or bolt head. Attach and position the T-bar through the provided opening to gain leverage; apply steady, controlled force to turn the fastener in the required direction. Use smooth movements to avoid slipping and ensure the socket is fully seated before applying full torque. After use, clean off dirt and lubricants, inspect the wrench for wear or damage and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when working with heavy fasteners. Avoid sudden impacts or excessive force beyond the tool's capacity. Regularly inspect the hexagon sockets and the T-bar for deformation or cracks; replace the tool if significant wear is detected. When working on vehicles, secure the vehicle and follow manufacturer service procedures to reduce risk during maintenance.
