Socket wrench Format Gedore 6475000, weight 262 g, compact 41×15 mm package

Socket wrench Format Gedore 6475000 is a compact hand tool designed for heavy-duty work where a short, robust wrench is useful. Delivered in a small package (approx. 41 × 15 mm) and weighing about 262 g, it fits confined spaces and is intended for tightening and loosening compatible fasteners according to DIN 7444. The tool is made from chrome-vanadium steel (31CrV3) for lengths up to 435 mm; longer versions are made from C35 steel. Special sizes are available on request.

Advantages

The wrench combines a compact size with construction suitable for very heavy-duty use, meeting DIN 7444 requirements. Chrome-vanadium steel provides high strength and wear resistance for the specified length range, while the compact dimensions make it convenient for workshop, automotive and maintenance tasks. Delivered as a single piece with a modest weight, it is easy to carry and store.

Suitable for

• Tightening and loosening nuts and bolts in confined or hard-to-reach spaces
• Workshop repair and general maintenance tasks
• Automotive and machinery servicing where a robust short wrench is required

When it may not be suitable

This compact socket wrench is intended for heavy-duty but relatively short-reach applications; it is not designed for long-reach leverage where a longer wrench would be required. For applications demanding extremely long lengths or specialized drive interfaces, consider other tool types or custom sizes.

Key specifications

• Overall length (example model): 160 mm
• Width across flats: 24 mm
• Width of head: 42.5 mm
• Height of head: 16.5 mm
• Material: chrome-vanadium steel (31CrV3) for lengths up to 435 mm; C35 steel used for longer versions
• Packed quantity: 1 piece
• Weight: approx. 0.262 kg

How to use

Select a socket that matches the fastener size and fit it securely onto the wrench. Place the tool on the fastener, applying steady force to turn clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen. Use controlled force and appropriate positioning to avoid slipping. For very high torque requirements, use a longer wrench or a torque-limiting tool appropriate for the fastener and application.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required fastener size matches the wrench dimensions (width across flats)
• Consider whether the compact length (example: 160 mm) provides sufficient reach and leverage for your tasks
• Check material suitability for your working conditions (chrome-vanadium for durability in standard heavy-duty use)

Usage recommendations

Use the Format Gedore 6475000 in confined spaces and routine maintenance tasks; avoid applying excessive impact or using the tool as a pry bar. For higher torque, use appropriate extensions or a longer wrench to prevent overstressing the tool.
