The King Tony 1060-17 is a professional-grade 17mm combination wrench engineered for high-torque applications in demanding environments. This tool features a dual-head design, combining an open-end wrench on one side and a ring-end wrench on the other, providing maximum versatility for tightening and loosening fasteners. Manufactured from high-quality alloy steel, the wrench is built to withstand rigorous mechanical use while maintaining structural integrity and precision.
Advantages
The primary benefit of this combination wrench is its robust construction, which ensures resistance to wear and deformation even under significant pressure. The precision-machined heads provide a secure fit on nuts and bolts, minimizing the risk of slippage and fastener damage. Its ergonomic design allows for comfortable handling during extended periods of work, making it an essential addition to any professional toolkit.
Suitable for
- Automotive engine repair and maintenance
- Industrial machinery assembly and disassembly
- General mechanical tasks requiring a 17mm size
- Routine equipment servicing
When it may not be suitable
This tool is not intended for use on fasteners that are not 17mm in size, as using an incorrect size can damage both the tool and the bolt head. It is also not recommended for applications requiring specialized offset angles or extra-long leverage that a standard combination wrench cannot provide.
Key specifications
- Size: 17mm
- Material: Alloy steel
- Configuration: Combination (open-end and ring-end)
- Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating
How to use
To use the King Tony 1060-17, select the appropriate end based on the space available and the torque required. Use the open-end for quick adjustments or when working in areas with limited overhead clearance. Use the ring-end for applying higher torque, as it provides a more secure grip around the entire fastener head, reducing the likelihood of rounding off the corners.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your fasteners require a 17mm wrench size.
- Ensure the tool length is appropriate for your specific workspace.
- Check if your application requires a specific offset angle not provided by this model.
Usage recommendations
Always ensure the wrench is fully seated on the fastener before applying force. Avoid using cheater bars or extensions to increase leverage, as this may exceed the tool's design limits and cause injury. Clean the tool after use to maintain its condition and prevent corrosion.
