Carlyle 16MM 12PT Ratchet Spanner (RW116M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. RW116M

Carlyle's RW116M is a 16mm ratchet spanner, 268 mm in its packing, with a 90-tooth ratcheting 12-point ring and an anti-slip open end. It clicks on every 4 degrees, so a 16mm nut keeps turning with only a short stroke. 16mm is used on suspension, brake and engine mount bolts, and is the ISO head size for M10.

Good to know

• Can I crack an engine mount bolt with the ratchet? No. Tight bolts must be broken loose with a fixed ring spanner or breaker bar; the ratchet is for running them out and in quickly.
• Will the ring fit all my M10 bolts? Only those with ISO-pattern 16mm heads; many M10 bolts take 17mm instead, so try the ring on the head before you start.
• How do I look after the ratchet? Wipe off grit and grime after use and put a drop of light oil on the mechanism now and then; dirt is what wears the teeth.
