Carlyle 12mm 12 Point Stubby Combination Wrench (CCWFPS112M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CCWFPS112M

The Carlyle CCWFPS112M is a 12mm stubby combination spanner, only 106 mm long in its packing, with a 12-point ring at a 15 degree offset and an open end. It suits 12mm fixings, the M8 head size on many Japanese cars, where a normal spanner can't swing behind lamps, under the dash or around ancillaries.

Good to know

• What's a stubby spanner for? Room. Where the handle of a standard spanner hits the bodywork after a few degrees, a short one can still swing enough to turn the nut.
• Why does a 12-point ring help in tight spots? It can re-grip every 30 degrees instead of every 60 with a 6-point, so you need less swing per bite.
• Can I free a tight bolt with it? It gives little leverage. Free tight bolts with a longer spanner or socket first, then use the stubby where space runs out.
