Gearwrench 85576 1/2 Inch Ratcheting Combination Wrench

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 85576 is a 12-point ratcheting combination wrench designed for fastener work in tight spaces where a standard open-end or box-end wrench limits swing arc. The 15-degree offset head reduces knuckle clearance issues on recessed fasteners. Built from steel with a polished finish and corrosion-resistant construction, this wrench measures 7 inches overall length and meets ASME B107.100-2010 and ANSI standards. The ratcheting box end allows forward torque on the drive stroke without removing the wrench from the fastener, making it a practical choice for plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople working in confined areas.

The 85576 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 1/2-inch fasteners appear on equipment panels, pipe connections, conduit fittings, valve assemblies, and mounting hardware. The 7-inch overall length provides enough leverage for moderate torque applications without becoming unwieldy in shallow access points. The polished steel finish resists surface corrosion under typical shop and field conditions. This wrench is not tether capable and is intended for standard hand-tool use in non-elevated work environments.

Key Features

• Ratcheting box end allows fastener rotation without repositioning the wrench
• 15-degree offset head improves access on recessed or obstructed fasteners
• 12-point box end engages fasteners at 30-degree intervals for use in restricted swing areas
• Corrosion-resistant steel construction with polished finish
• Meets ASME B107.100-2010 and ANSI standards
• Lifetime replacement warranty

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch fasteners across a wide range of trade and mechanical service applications. Fits standard SAE hex fasteners requiring a 1/2-inch wrench.

Installation Notes

This wrench is installed and used by hand — no power source required. Apply torque in the intended ratchet direction only; reversing the drive direction disengages the ratchet mechanism and does not apply torque. Inspect the ratchet mechanism periodically for debris or wear that could reduce engagement. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer torque requirements for the fastener joint being serviced.
