Combination ratcheting wrench Proxxon 24 mm PR23146

The Proxxon combination ratcheting wrench 24 mm PR23146 is a hand tool designed for working with 24 mm fastener heads. It combines an open-end jaw on one side with a ratcheting boxed end on the other, allowing continuous rotation of nuts and bolts without repositioning the tool. The tool is intended for workshop and mechanical use where access can be limited and multiple turns are required.

Advantages

The dual-ended design provides the versatility of an open jaw for quick engagement and a ratcheting box end for efficient continuous turning. The ratcheting mechanism enables faster operation in confined spaces by eliminating the need to lift and refit the wrench after each partial turn. Solid construction and a precisely machined profile ensure reliable grip on fasteners and reduce the risk of rounded heads during use.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair tasks requiring 24 mm wrenching
• Workshop and garage use where repeated tightening or loosening is needed
• Maintenance of machinery and equipment with 24 mm hex fasteners
• Situations with limited access where ratcheting action speeds work

Key specifications

• Wrench type: combination ratcheting wrench with open-end and boxed ratchet end
• Size: 24 mm across flats
• Ratcheting mechanism: integrated in the boxed end for continuous turning
• Material: hardened steel alloy suitable for hand tool use
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment
• Drive direction: reversible ratchet action (standard right/left operation)

How to use

Select the 24 mm wrench end that matches the fastener. For quick engagement and initial loosening or final tightening, use the open-end side. For repeated turning in confined spaces, fit the boxed end over the fastener head and operate the ratchet by moving the handle back and forth; the boxed end will turn the fastener in the selected direction without removing the wrench. Reverse the ratchet direction as required by using the mechanism provided on the boxed end. Apply steady, even pressure and avoid sudden impacts to prolong tool life.

Usage recommendations

Use the combination ratcheting wrench on properly sized 24 mm hex fasteners only; inspect fastener heads for damage before use and avoid using the tool on rounded or badly worn bolts. Keep the ratchet mechanism clean and periodically apply a light lubricant to maintain smooth operation. Store the wrench in a dry place to preserve the corrosion-resistant finish.
