Milwaukee 22 mm MAX BITE ratcheting combination spanner (4932471515)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932471515

Milwaukee's 4932471515 is a 22mm MAX BITE combination spanner with a ratcheting ring end. With 144 teeth the handle needs only a 2.5° swing before the ring picks up again, so it keeps turning a nut where there is barely room to move. Chrome-plated alloy steel, 0.42kg.

Good to know

• Where does a 22mm spanner earn its keep on a car? Lambda sensors commonly take 22mm, and so do M14 nuts made to the DIN pattern. The open end can go onto a sensor from the side with its wire still attached, though a seized sensor comes out more easily with a slotted sensor socket and a warm exhaust.
• Can I crack a tight nut with the ratchet end? Break it loose first with a plain ring spanner or a breaker bar and socket, then let the ratchet spin it off. The ratchet mechanism is the part that gives up first when it is overloaded.
• Will the ring end go wherever a flat spanner does? Not always: a ratcheting head is thicker than a plain ring, so check the gap behind the nut. In its favour, the ring slides over a long stud that would stop a socket.

Which one?

For the same size without the ratchet, the Milwaukee 22 mm MAX BITE combination spanner (4932471530) has a slimmer ring; for a longer reach, the Carlyle 22mm 12 Point Long Beam Combination Wrench (CCWLNS122M).
