Carlyle 17-19MM Ratchet Spanner XL Dblx (RWLB1719M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. RWLB1719M

Carlyle's extra long double ring ratchet spanner in 17mm and 19mm, two sizes that come up again and again on cars. The fixed heads hold 6-point ratchet rings with a 90-tooth action needing just a 4 degree swing, and the long chrome vanadium beam, nickel chrome plated, gives leverage and reach into deep spots.

Good to know

• Is it the right tool for a tight 19mm nut? Once a nut is moving it is quick, but crack a stuck one with a plain ring spanner or breaker bar first, as a ratchet is not built to be a breaker.
• Fixed or flexi? The fixed head is stiffer and better when the handle can sit in line with the nut; the flexi RWLBFL1719M tilts its heads to work round obstacles.
• Why 6-point rings? They grip the flats rather than the corners of the nut, so they are kinder to a head that is tight, rusty or slightly worn.

Which one?

For a single 19mm with an open end too, see the Carlyle 12 PT 19mm 180P Ratcheting Combination Wrench (CRW119M); for a 17mm and 19mm pair that flexes, the Carlyle 17-19MM Flexi Ratchet Spanner (RWLBFL1719M).
