Apex 85989 Xl Gearbox Ratcheting Wrench Set 17 Piece

Product Description

The APEX 85989 is a 17-piece XL GearBox double box end ratcheting wrench set designed for professional technicians, mechanics, and tradespeople who need reliable metric wrench coverage in a single set. Each wrench features a 12-point ratcheting box end that requires as little as 5 degrees of arc swing to advance a fastener, compared to 30 degrees for a standard box end wrench. The set is constructed from chrome vanadium steel for durability and long service life. Both ends of each wrench are ratcheting box ends, and the long pattern length provides the leverage needed to break loose stubborn or corroded fasteners.

This set is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where metric fasteners are standard. The 17 wrenches cover sizes from 8mm through 25mm, including 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, and 25mm. The set fits residential and commercial service environments and is appropriate for any trade professional who regularly works with metric hardware.

Key Features

• 17-piece set covers 8mm to 25mm in a single kit
• 5-degree arc swing ratcheting box end for use in confined spaces
• Double box end design — both ends ratchet for faster fastener cycling
• Long pattern length increases torque leverage for breaking loose rusted fasteners
• Off-corner loading geometry improves box end strength and reduces fastener rounding
• Chrome vanadium steel construction for precision and extended tool life

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard metric fasteners; the 17-piece range covers the most common metric bolt and nut sizes found in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Use is appropriate for any trade professional working with metric fasteners. Always ensure the correct wrench size is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. When breaking loose heavily corroded fasteners, apply steady force rather than sudden impact to protect both the wrench and the fastener. Store wrenches in the provided roll or tray to prevent damage to the ratcheting mechanism.
