Carlyle 12mm Angled Open Ended Spanner (CADOW12M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CADOW12M

Carlyle's CADOW12M is a 12mm double open-ended spanner with its two heads at different angles, 30 degrees at one end and 60 at the other. It keeps a 12mm nut turning in a narrow slot where you only get a few degrees of handle movement. Polished chrome, size etched on the side, 127 mm packed length.

Good to know

• How do I work a nut with only a little swing? Turn it as far as the handle goes, lift off, then turn the spanner over or use the other end; the changed angle lets the jaw catch the next flats.
• Should I use it to free a stuck 12mm bolt? No, an open jaw can spread and slip on a tight one. Crack it with a ring end or socket and use this for the rest.
• Is 12mm the size I need? Many Japanese cars use 12mm heads on M8 bolts. Try the jaw on the nut first; it should sit snugly with no wobble.
