Apex 85918 Ratcheting Box End Wrench 18MM 12 Point

Product Description

The APEX 85918 is an 18MM double box end ratcheting wrench designed for professional technicians who need speed and control in tight spaces. The ratcheting end requires as little as 5 degrees of arc swing to advance the fastener, compared to 30 degrees for a standard box end wrench. The fixed box end uses an off-corner loading geometry that increases box strength and reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads. Both ends are forged from chrome vanadium steel for long-term durability under daily shop use. At 15.13 inches in length, the long-pattern handle delivers strong leverage for breaking loose stubborn or corroded fasteners without switching tools.

This wrench is suited for use in automotive, diesel, and equipment service environments where metric fasteners are common. The 12-point configuration fits standard hex fasteners and works in confined areas where a full swing is not possible. The combination of a ratcheting end and a fixed box end on a single tool reduces the number of wrenches needed to complete a job. Technicians working on engine assemblies, suspension components, and accessory drives will find the 18MM size frequently useful in metric applications.

Installation Notes

This wrench is a hand tool intended for use by automotive and equipment service technicians. Ensure the correct wrench size is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. Do not use extension pipes or cheater bars on the handle, as this can exceed the designed load of the tool. Inspect the ratcheting mechanism before each use and replace the tool if any damage or wear is observed.
