Carlyle 13mm Angled Open Ended Spanner (CADOW13M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CADOW13M

This Carlyle CADOW13M is a double open-ended 13mm spanner whose heads are angled at 30 degrees and 60 degrees. It's for the common 13mm (M8) nut that you can only reach from the side, in a space too tight for a straight spanner's swing. Polished chrome finish with the size etched on the side; 127 mm packed length.

Good to know

• Why are the two heads at different angles? So that when one end runs out of room, the other end, or the same end turned over, meets the nut at a new angle and keeps it moving.
• Can it replace a ring spanner? Not for tight work. A ring grips all six corners; an open jaw holds two flats, so break the nut loose with a ring and finish with this.
• Where is it handy on a car? On 13mm nuts tucked behind brackets or on fittings where a ring or socket can't be slipped over the top, such as a nut threaded on a pipe.

Which one?

The Carlyle 7 Piece Metric Double Open End Angle Wrench Set 10mm – 17mm (CADOWS7M) has these from 10mm to 17mm; to break a tight 13mm loose, use a ring such as the Carlyle 13mm 6 Point Combination Wrench (CCWFP013M).
