Milwaukee 9 mm MAX BITE combination spanner (4932471517)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932471517

Milwaukee's 4932471517 is a 9mm MAX BITE combination spanner: a ring end cranked at 15° for knuckle room and an open jaw shaped to hold the flats without rounding them. Nine millimetres turns up less often than 8mm or 10mm, which is exactly why a set without it leaves you stuck on the odd fixing.

Good to know

• Where will I need a 9mm? Mostly on small odd fixings and some brake bleed screws. Bleed screws on cars mostly run from 7mm to 11mm, so try the spanner on yours before you start a bleed.
• Ring or open end for the first turn? The ring, as it grips all round the head while the open jaw holds only two flats. Once the fixing is free, the open end spins it off faster where the ring can't be flicked round.
• Can I put a bar on it for more leverage? No: never lengthen an ordinary spanner with a pipe or hit it with a hammer. A fixing this small will snap before it frees, so soak it in penetrating oil and use steady hand pressure.
