Dopsleutel Gedore SB 183 7 TC S-001

The Gedore SB 183 7 TC S-001 socket wrench is an adjustable, universal bolting tool that combines the functions of a spanner and pliers. Built to DIN ISO 5743 standards and made from Gedore special hardened and tempered steel, it covers gripping sizes from 0 to 52 mm (0 to 2") and can replace two complete open-ended spanner sets (metric and inch). The tool features a sliding mechanism with paralleled jaws for practically stepless adjustment and secure locking when the desired opening is selected, enabling careful assembly of bolt connections without damaging delicate surfaces.

Advantages

The adjustable sliding mechanism allows play-free positioning and reduces the risk of edge damage. High mechanical ratio (>1:10) provides strong pressing and clamping force, and the tool can be used as a "ratchet spanner" for quick tightening and loosening of hexagonal screws and nuts. Its ergonomic shape permits optimum hand positioning relative to the jaw opening, and the robust Gedore steel construction ensures high load capacity and durability. The tool can also serve as a portable vice for bending, holding, pressing and gripping a wide range of workpieces.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance
• Mechanical and assembly work
• Plumbing and chrome-plated fittings where careful handling is required
• On-site jobs requiring a versatile, space-saving tool

How to use

Select the required jaw opening by sliding the adjustment mechanism until the jaws match the nut or bolt size. Ensure the jaws are securely locked in the chosen setting before applying torque. Position the tool so the load is transmitted through the broad jaw faces to avoid edge damage; for delicate or chrome-plated surfaces, take care to align the jaw contact and apply gradual force. For rapid tightening or loosening, use the tool as a ratchet spanner by rocking it back and forth while maintaining engagement with the fastener.

Recommendations

Regularly inspect the jaws and sliding mechanism for wear or contamination, keep the adjustment path clean and lightly lubricated, and avoid excessive side loads beyond the tool's rated capacity. Store in a dry place to preserve the hardened steel finish and ensure long service life.
