Carlyle 3/8 Drive 14mm Open-End Crowfoot Wrench (CCF3814M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CCF3814M

Carlyle's CCF3814M is a 14mm crowfoot spanner with a 3/8in drive: an open 14mm jaw that fits on a ratchet, extension or torque wrench. 14mm is used on mounts and ancillary bolts on many cars and on M10 bolts on many Japanese models; the crowfoot gets at the ones where a socket can't go over. Chrome plated, mirror polish.

Good to know

• When does a crowfoot beat a socket? When something sits over the top of the nut, like a pipe, cable or bracket. The jaw slides on from the side, which a socket can't do.
• Can I use it to hold a nut while I turn the bolt? It can, on an extension, but a ring spanner braced against something solid holds better for that job.
• How do I check 14mm is the right size? Slide the jaw on: it should sit fully on the flats with no play. Any rocking means the wrong size or an imperial nut.

Which one?
