In situations where you need a double box-ended wrench, you want to have the right one available. This tool comes in handy when you need to unscrew bolts situated in tight spots or recessed bolts. Choose a quality wrench that will allow you to grip the fastener and loosen it with ease.
Why you need double box-ended wrenches in your toolbox
From plumbing projects to mechanical fixes, you will likely have recessed fasteners and bolts that are obstructed by other parts. A double box-ended wrench makes it easier to loosen these fasteners and complete your project with ease.
Most double box-end wrenches have 6 corners or 12 corners. Those with 6 points tend to be more stable, as they tend to have better grip on the bolt, and there are fewer instances of the wrench slipping off of the bolt instead of loosening it.
Box-ended wrenches with 12 sides have more points at which they can grab the sides of the bolt, so they are easier to use in tighter spaces.
Ratcheting box wrenches
Recently, double box wrenches have come with ratcheting features that let you grip and turn fasteners with ease. The ratcheting operates like a ratchet and socket, eliminating the need to reposition the wrench each time you finish turning the bolt. Ratcheting models work best with more teeth and a smaller swing arc. If you’re working in a narrow area, choose a ratcheting model for better access.
Design features
The Capri Tools set of double box-end wrenches offer design features that make them easier to use and more functional. All of the wrenches in this set have offset ends. These make the wrenches easier to grip and keep you from bumping your hands and scraping your knuckles. If you’re working on an engine part that is located in a difficult position, this wrench makes the job easier.
Capri Tools designs our double box-ended wrenches with 15 to 20 percent more torque during use. Other tools may slip, causing the fastener or even the wrench itself to damage the part on which you’re working. These wrenches are strong and durable, and the extra torque helps keep your parts intact. Our set includes wrenches in a range of sizes from 6 to 19 mm, so you can find the right wrench for any project.
Double box-end wrenches come in a zero offset variety as well as a wide range of offset distances. When you’re working in awkward spaces with plumbing or an engine, try one of the offset wrenches. An offset wrench lets you work with ease rather than contorting into an odd position to reach the fastener. These tools are bent, so they aren’t appropriate for every project or everyday use, but they are nice to have around when you are working at difficult angles. An angle adjustment feature lets you tilt the wrench for various angles, letting you carry fewer wrenches in your tool kit. Choose a deep offset set for recessed bolts.
The 180 degree box end head is designed to pivot. This lets you navigate tight areas with ease. Old double box end wrenches are made completely of metal, and the teeth can wear out, which makes it more difficult to grip fasteners. Our wrenches are more durable because they’re plated inside. You can use your set of wrenches for years without losing functionality. They are designed to hold tight, giving you the leverage you need to quickly remove fasteners and reinstall them when your job is complete.
Closed ends with versatile design let you unscrew hexagonal and square bolts. If you’re working on a project that features a variety of fasteners, you can use one tool to complete the job.
How to use your double box-end wrenches
A set of double box-end wrenches is essential for any tool kit. The features highlighted above make these wrenches perfect for suspension and brake repairs. They are also good for working on steering and alignment, as well as repairs on engine parts that are located in awkward spots.
These wrenches aren’t limited to projects in the garage. They can also be used for projects around the house. You can use the smaller wrenches when repairing electronics or other items in your home with small screws and fasteners. When you’re working on a water heater, your HVAC system, and other projects that require the removal of fasteners, these wrenches help you complete the job with ease.
If you need to fix something that’s located in the attic or a tight crawl space, the long handles on these wrenches let you access the fasteners and remove them quickly. When you have a repair in which you need to remove some bolts without disassembling an entire part, these wrenches help you access it, particularly if the fastener in question is tight. Our wrenches offer maximum torque, letting you remove these bolts without full disassembly.
The Capri tools advantage
Our high-quality tools are durable and made to last. They are crafted with a MaxChrome finish and come with a roll-up pouch so you can easily store them in your toolbox. The size of each wrench is stamped clearly on the side in a large font. These stamps are designed to resist fading. Even after you have used your wrenches to complete dozens of projects in your home and in the garage, you will be able to read the size and select the proper wrench for your needs.
They are also made for easy grip. Each wrench feels comfortable in your hands while you work, and the grip lessens the likelihood that you’ll drop the wrench while you’re working and have to put your project on pause to find it.
