Carlyle 8mm 12 Point Combination Wrench (CCWFP108M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CCWFP108M

The Carlyle CCWFP108M is an 8mm combination spanner with a 12-point ring at a 15 degree offset and an anti-slip open end. 8mm is the typical head on M5 bolts used for small fixings, and is a size that often goes missing from a toolbox. Packed length 140 mm.

Good to know

• How tight should 8mm bolts go? Not very. M5 bolts are small and strip or snap easily, especially into aluminium or plastic, so tighten them with gentle, steady pressure.
• Which end for a small bolt? Use the ring to crack it and to nip it up; the open end is for spinning it once loose, or where something stops the ring going over the head.
• Does it fit older cars? Only metric fixings. Older British and American cars with AF nuts and bolts need AF spanners.

Which one?
