AWTools AW40017 Combination Wrench 17mm

The AWTools AW40017 17mm combination wrench is a professional-grade tool engineered for reliability and precision in various mechanical and repair applications. This dual-purpose tool features an open-ended jaw on one side and a ring spanner on the other, providing the versatility needed to handle hexagonal bolts and nuts efficiently. Constructed from high-quality chrome-vanadium steel, it is drop-forged, hardened, and tempered to ensure long-lasting performance under demanding conditions.

Advantages

The wrench is designed with a satin finish that effectively reduces slippage during operation, ensuring a safer and more controlled grip. The ring end is angled at 15 degrees, which significantly improves accessibility when working on flat surfaces or in confined spaces. Furthermore, the gripping area features specialized knurling to prevent the tool from slipping out of the hand, even when working in oily or greasy environments. Clear size markings are provided for quick and easy identification, saving time during complex repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and engine repairs
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks
• Household furniture assembly and general repairs
• Tightening and loosening hexagonal nuts and bolts

This tool may not be suitable for tasks requiring extremely high torque beyond the standard capacity of a 17mm manual wrench, such as breaking loose heavily rusted or seized industrial-grade fasteners. It is also not intended for use with impact drivers or power tools, as it is designed specifically for manual operation.

Key specifications

• Size: 17mm
• Material: Chrome-vanadium (CrV) tool steel
• Finish: Satin
• Ring end angle: 15 degrees
• Weight: 160g
• Design: Combination open-ended and ring spanner

To use the AWTools combination wrench, select the appropriate end based on the space available and the torque required. Use the open-ended side for quick adjustments or when access is limited from the side, and utilize the ring end for applying higher torque to fully tighten or loosen fasteners. Ensure the wrench is fully seated on the bolt or nut head before applying force to prevent rounding the fastener edges.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that 17mm is the correct size for your specific fasteners
• Ensure you have sufficient clearance for the 15-degree offset of the ring end
• Consider the manual nature of the tool for your specific project requirements

For optimal longevity, keep the wrench clean and dry after use. Regularly inspect the tool for signs of wear or damage to ensure continued safety and performance during your mechanical projects.
