Carlyle 8mm 12 Point Long Beam Combination Wrench (CCWLNS108M)

Description

Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CCWLNS108M

Carlyle's CCWLNS108M is a long-pattern 8mm combination spanner, 148 mm in its packing, with a zero-chamfer 12-point ring and a patented anti-slip open jaw. The longer handle is less about force at this size and more about reach, getting to 8mm (M5) fixings set back behind other parts.

Good to know

• Why a long spanner for small bolts? Reach. The extra length gets the ring onto 8mm fixings set deep in a bay; just remember the extra leverage makes it easier to over-tighten small bolts.
• How do I avoid stripping an M5 thread? Tighten until it's snug and stop; small fasteners strip or snap easily, so use gentle, steady pressure, not a heave.
• Will the ring grip a thin or worn head? The zero-chamfer ring has no bevel at the face, so it grips right to the base of the head; it helps on thin heads and lightly worn ones.
