Wrenches Gedore R07200170 17 mm Chrome Chromium-vanadium steel

The Gedore R07200170 17 mm wrench is a single-piece hand tool manufactured from chromium-vanadium steel and finished with a chrome surface. Designed for professional and serious DIY use, this 17 mm spanner delivers consistent torque transfer and accurate fit on hex fasteners. Its compact form factor and solid construction make it suitable for confined spaces and repeated mechanical operations where durability and precise engagement are required.

Advantages

The chrome-plated chromium-vanadium steel construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life while maintaining strength under load. The one-piece design eliminates weak joints and offers direct torque transmission from hand to fastener. A close and accurate jaw profile reduces rounding of nuts and bolts, and the polished finish facilitates cleaning and inspection after use.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair tasks requiring a 17 mm wrench
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly of machinery and equipment
• Workshop and garage use where a robust hand spanner is needed
• Household and DIY projects involving hex nuts and bolts of matching size

Key specifications

• Tool type: Open-end wrench (17 mm)
• Material: Chromium-vanadium (Cr-V) steel
• Finish: Chrome-plated surface for corrosion resistance
• Construction: Single-piece forged design
• Intended use: Manual hand tool for tightening and loosening hex fasteners

How to use

Select the 17 mm wrench when the nut or bolt head matches the size. Position the wrench jaw fully onto the fastener to ensure maximum contact and reduce slippage. Apply controlled force in the required direction, keeping the wrench perpendicular to the fastener axis. For stubborn fasteners, use steady, incremental pressure rather than sudden jerks. After use, wipe clean and store in a dry place to preserve the chrome finish.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the wrench as a hammer or pry bar. Avoid applying torque beyond the acceptable range for hand tools; for high torque requirements, use a suitable larger tool or a torque wrench. Regularly inspect the jaw profile for wear and replace the tool if deformation or significant rounding is observed to prevent fastener damage.
