Combination wrench Proline 17 mm, length 232 mm, single piece (model 35697)

Proline 17 mm combination wrench, 232 mm long, is a single-piece hand tool designed for tightening and loosening hex fasteners. It pairs an open-end jaw with a boxed/ring end that incorporates a reversible ratchet mechanism, offering continuous engagement without repositioning. Forged steel construction with a chromium-plated satin finish provides corrosion resistance and a balanced feel suitable for workshop, automotive and household tasks.

Advantages

The forged steel construction delivers strength and durability while the chromium-plated satin surface reduces glare and resists rust. The 17 mm standard size covers a wide range of nuts and bolts in vehicles and machinery. The boxed end features a ratchet mechanism reversible by a switch, enabling faster operation in confined spaces by eliminating frequent repositioning. With a minimum work angle of 5° the wrench allows access in tight clearances and provides fine engagement on fasteners.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly
• Home and DIY repairs involving 17 mm hex fasteners
• Workshop use where a durable, single-piece wrench is required

Key specifications

• Wrench type: combination (open-end and boxed/ring end)
• Size: 17 mm
• Overall length: 232 mm
• Material: forged steel
• Finish: chromium-plated, satin
• Ratchet: reversible mechanism operated by a switch

How to use

Place the open-end on fasteners when the boxed end cannot engage or when quick initial turning is required. Use the boxed/ring end with the ratchet mechanism to tighten or loosen bolts without removing the wrench from the fastener; set the direction switch to select tightening or loosening. Apply steady, controlled force aligned with the wrench axis and avoid sudden impacts. After use, wipe clean and store the wrench in a dry place to maintain the chromium-plated finish.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective results, match the 17 mm wrench precisely to the fastener to minimize rounding. Use the ratchet end in confined areas where the 5° minimum work angle allows incremental rotation. Avoid using the wrench as a hammer or lever extender; if extra torque is required, use an appropriately sized tool or torque wrench to prevent damage to fasteners and the tool.
