Mitee-bite 1005C 5C Collet Wrench 4.25 Inches

Product Description

The MITEE-BITE 1005C is a 5C collet wrench designed for tightening and loosening 5C collets in lathes, indexing fixtures, and collet chucks. The wrench features a mild steel head for durability under torque loads and a lightweight aluminum handle for comfortable one-handed operation. At 4.25 inches overall length, it provides adequate leverage for standard 5C collet work without overcrowding the workholding area. Weighing 0.53 pounds, this compact tool is well-suited for machine shop environments where technicians frequently change collets during setup operations.

This wrench is used in machining and metalworking applications wherever 5C collets are the workholding standard. Typical install scenarios include manual lathes, CNC lathe setups with manual collet closers, and 5C indexing fixtures on milling machines. It is a direct-drive hand tool requiring no power source, making it practical for both production floors and toolroom settings. Machinists and setup technicians working with 5C collet systems will find this wrench a straightforward fit for daily use.

Installation Notes

Apply steady, controlled hand pressure to avoid rounding the collet drive slots. Store in a dry location to prevent surface corrosion on the mild steel head.
