Milwaukee 9 mm MAX BITE ratcheting combination spanner (4932471502)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932471502

This is the 9mm member of Milwaukee's MAX BITE ratcheting combination range, part 4932471502. Its ring end ratchets on 144 teeth, needing only 2.5° of swing, and the open end is shaped to bite without rounding. It is the one to reach for when a 9mm fixing sits behind a pipe and the handle can only rock a little; 0.06kg.

Good to know

• Why choose a ratcheting 9mm? Small fixings tucked behind pipework often allow only a tiny swing. With 144 teeth the ring keeps biting where a plain spanner would need lifting off and refitting after every turn; a 90-tooth ratchet, by comparison, needs 4 degrees.
• Does it suit a brake bleed screw? Not really: a bleed screw only needs a fraction of a turn, so a plain ring gives better feel, and the thicker ratcheting head may not fit in beside the caliper.
• What can't it reach? Anything on a pipe, because the ring is closed; brake pipe nuts need a flare nut spanner. The ring does pass over a long thread that would stop a socket.

Which one?

The plain Milwaukee 9 mm MAX BITE combination spanner (4932471517) has a thinner ring for tight gaps; the next size up is the Milwaukee 10 mm MAX BITE ratcheting combination spanner (4932471503).
