Apex 85570 Ratcheting Combination Wrench 5/16 in 12 Point

Product Description

The APEX 85570 is a combination open-end ratcheting wrench designed for professional use in tight, low-access fastening applications. The box end uses a 12-point ratcheting mechanism that requires only 5 degrees of swing arc, allowing the user to drive fasteners where a standard wrench cannot complete a full stroke. The open end functions like a crow-foot ratchet, providing solid engagement without the need to reposition the wrench on each pass. At 5.508 inches in length and 0.12 pounds, it is sized for 5/16 inch fasteners and is suited for trade mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians working in confined spaces.

This wrench is built for recurring use in residential and commercial service work where fastener access is limited by surrounding components, panels, or structural framing. It is particularly useful in HVAC equipment, electrical panels, plumbing fixture connections, and mechanical assemblies where swing clearance is restricted. The ratcheting action on both ends eliminates the need to lift and reposition the wrench after each turn, reducing installation time on repetitive fastening tasks.

Key Features

• 5-degree swing arc on the ratcheting box end allows operation in confined spaces
• 12-point box end for broad fastener compatibility and reduced slip risk
• Open end provides crow-foot ratchet functionality without removing the wrench from the fastener

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/16 inch fasteners in standard combination wrench applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work.

Installation Notes

This wrench is a hand tool requiring no power source or calibration prior to use. Ensure the correct fastener size is confirmed before applying torque to avoid rounding. When working near energized electrical components, follow applicable NEC lockout and de-energization procedures before using any hand tool in the work area.
