Wheel wrench AWTools AW18117 with pin, 32x33 mm, socket-style lug wrench

The AWTools AW18117 wheel wrench with pin is a socket-style lug wrench in 32x33 mm sizes designed to remove and tighten wheel nuts on passenger vehicles with compatible nut dimensions. Constructed for mechanical engagement via a pinned connection, the wrench provides a firm hold on the nut head and is intended for roadside wheel changes, basic garage maintenance and general tire service tasks where these metric sizes are required.

Advantages

The pinned connection secures the socket to the drive point, reducing slippage during application. The dual-size socket head (32 and 33 mm) covers two frequently used wheel nut dimensions, minimizing the need to change tools. The socket-style design concentrates torque on the nut face to assist with loosening and tightening stiffer fasteners. The tool’s straightforward, low-profile construction makes it easy to store in a vehicle toolkit or garage drawer.

Suitable for

• Roadside wheel changes on passenger cars with 32 mm or 33 mm wheel nuts
• Basic garage and home automotive maintenance
• Changing winter/summer tires and rotating wheels
• Use with compatible jacks and wheel removal procedures

Key specifications

• Socket sizes: 32 mm and 33 mm
• Socket-style lug wrench with pinned connection for secure engagement
• Designed for passenger vehicle wheel nuts of corresponding metric sizes
• Hand-operated tool intended for manual torque application

How to use

Position the appropriate socket size over the wheel nut and ensure the pinned connection is engaged for a secure fit. Apply steady manual force in the correct direction to loosen or tighten the nut, taking care to maintain firm hand placement. When loosening tight or corroded nuts, use controlled, incremental force and, if necessary, apply penetrating lubricant to the nut threads before attempting removal. After use, inspect the socket faces for rounding or damage and store the wrench in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use the 32 mm or 33 mm socket size that matches the wheel nut to avoid rounding. When performing roadside changes, follow vehicle manufacturer lifting and wheel removal instructions and use wheel chocks for safety. Do not use the wrench with power tools or as a breaker bar substitute; if greater leverage is required, use an appropriate-length breaker bar or torque wrench rated for that application.
