Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CCWFP016M

Photo shows the range. Size as stated.

Carlyle's CCWFP016M is a 16mm combination spanner with a 6-point ring, for 16mm heads that have rusted or started to round. 16mm is used on suspension, brake and engine mount bolts and is the ISO head size on M10, all fixings that live in road dirt. The ring sits at a 15 degree offset; packed length 208 mm.

Good to know

• Why pick 6-point over 12-point in 16mm? Suspension and mount bolts are often both tight and rusty. Six points push on the flats, so the ring holds where a 12-point might skid round the corners.
• How do I tackle a seized suspension bolt? Soak it in penetrating oil, leave it, then pull steadily on the ring. If it still won't move, use a socket and breaker bar rather than a pipe on the spanner.
• Will it fit all my M10 bolts? Only ISO-pattern ones with 16mm heads; many M10 bolts are 17mm. Try the ring on the head first.

Which one?

The Carlyle 13 Piece 6 Point Combination Wrench Set 7mm to 19mm (CCW613M) has every 6-point size from 7mm to 19mm; on clean bolts where swing is limited, the 12-point Carlyle 16mm 12 Point Combination Wrench (CCWFP116M) re-grips sooner.
