Photo shows the range. Size as stated.

This Carlyle CCWFP008M is an 8mm combination spanner with a 6-point ring, for small 8mm heads that have corroded or been rounded slightly by a loose-fitting tool. The ring is set at a 15 degree offset and the open jaw has anti-slip, radiused corners. Packed length 140 mm.

Good to know

• When does a 6-point ring help on 8mm? On rusty or slightly rounded heads: it drives on the flats instead of the corners, so it can still turn a head that a 12-point would slip on.
• What causes rounded heads in the first place? Usually a spanner that's slightly too big or not pushed fully on. Check the ring slides on without any rocking before you pull.
• What if it still won't turn? Soak it with penetrating oil and give it time. On a small M5 bolt, forcing it is the quickest way to snap it.
