The tool weighs approximately 800 g and has package dimensions of 110 mm depth and 55 mm height. It is produced in sizes with ring/box offsets: ring offset 15° from the shaft, hexagon gap 30° offset, UD-section at 15° offset; available sizes include 8×10 mm through 12×14 mm with hexagon ends. The notation "* not standardised" indicates that a specific feature is non‑standard and may differ from standardized variants.

Advantages

The chrome-plated 31CrV3 vanadium steel construction provides strength and wear resistance while the chrome finish offers corrosion protection and easier cleaning. The 15° ring offset and 30° hexagon gap offset improve access in confined or angled spaces. Multiple size options (8×10 to 12×14 mm) with hexagon ends allow use on a range of bolt and nut combinations. The tool’s weight and compact package dimensions make it practical to handle and store.

How to use

Select the correct size end of the open end wrench for the nut or bolt. Place the wrench fully onto the fastener, ensuring the hexagon faces seat squarely in the jaw. Use the ring‑end offset and hexagon gap offsets to access fasteners at an angle, repositioning the wrench as needed for additional turns. Apply steady force aligned with the handle; avoid sudden impact loads. After use, wipe the chrome surface clean and store the wrench in a tool rack or toolbox.

Recommendations

Do not use the wrench as a hammer or pry bar. For damaged or rounded fasteners, consider a dedicated extractor. Periodically inspect the chrome plating and jaws for wear; replace the tool if jaws are deformed. Store in a dry place to preserve the chrome finish.
