Socket wrench Gedore 6055220 — compact hand socket tool, weight 171 g, package 75×50 mm

Gedore 6055220 is a compact socket wrench designed for turning sockets and fasteners in confined or precision applications. Manufactured from Gedore vanadium steel (31CrV3) and chrome-plated, the tool follows DIN 837 Form B, ISO 3318 and ISO 1085 flat pattern standards and features thin-walled ring ends with a UD-profile to allow access in restricted spaces. The net weight of the hand tool is 171 g and the small package dimensions (75 × 50 mm) make it easy to store and transport for mechanical, automotive and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The compact design and thin-walled rings reduce interference when working in tight assemblies while the UD-profile enhances engagement with fasteners. Chrome plating provides corrosion resistance and a smooth surface for handling. Constructed from Gedore vanadium steel (31CrV3), the wrench combines strength and wear resistance for repeated use. Its lightweight construction and small package size support portability without compromising functional length or head geometry.

Suitable for

• Automotive repairs in confined engine bays and undercarriage areas
• Mechanical assembly and maintenance where space is limited
• Precision fastening tasks on machinery and equipment

How to use

Select the appropriate ring end that matches the fastener size and position the thin-walled ring over the nut or bolt head. Apply steady turning force along the handle axis to avoid slipping; the UD-profile is intended to improve contact with the fastener. For work in confined spaces, orient the head so the thin wall clears adjacent components. After use, wipe the chrome surface clean and store the tool in its small package or a tool roll to protect the finish.

Usage recommendations

Use the wrench within its mechanical limits; avoid applying excessive torque with extensions or cheater bars. Regularly inspect the ring ends for rounding or wear and maintain the chrome finish by cleaning and light oiling to prevent corrosion.
