Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CCWFP009M

Photo shows the range. Size as stated.

This Carlyle CCWFP009M is a 9mm combination spanner with a 6-point ring, aimed at small 9mm heads that have corroded, such as a brake bleed screw that hasn't been opened for years. The ring sits at a 15 degree offset and the open jaw has anti-slip, radiused corners. Packed length 149 mm.

Good to know

• Why is 6-point better on old bleed screws? Small, rusty hex heads round off easily. A 6-point ring drives on the flats, so it can turn a corroded 9mm head that a 12-point might slip on.
• How do I free a seized bleed screw without snapping it? Soak it with penetrating oil, leave it to work and use steady force on the ring. A snapped bleed screw is a far bigger job.
• Do I use the open end at all? Only once the screw is free or where the ring can't get on; for cracking a bleed screw always use the ring.

Which one?
