Shade Mechanic Slim Special Key

These thin wrenches seem to be the right quality for occasional use such as a shade tree mechanic who needs to hold flats on the stabilizer link, but they don't replace good forged pushrod wrenches (which sell for a much higher price). ) . They are made from forged steel, made in India and the edges are not ground - meaning the sides are slightly sharp and the holes are not ground to give smooth and flat work surfaces. Except for a slight ripple, all holes are approx. 0.2 mm larger than their nominal size. This is a typical gap for medium-sized keys, but a quality 8mm key has half that. Of course, excessive play makes it easier to damage both the fitting and the key. The surfaces are fairly flat and smooth. In my set, 8-17mm wrenches were 0.118 +/- 0.002" (3.0mm or 1/8") thick and 18-32mm wrenches were 0.158 +/- 0.002" (4.0mm or 5/8 inch) thick. 32 inches). . Although half the thickness of a forged wrench and suitable for many automotive applications, it is much larger than the typical 2mm thick bicycle hub wrench. That said, while these wrenches can be useful in bike repairs, they do not replace special tools from Park etc. The length increases from 4.8 inches for 8/9mm to 7.0 inches for 18/19mm and up to 9, 9 inch for a 30/32mm wrench. The ends are beveled at a 15 degree angle. So if you sometimes need a wrench that is thinner than normal, especially for medium to large sizes, this might be the right and economical choice. Otherwise, spend more money several times and buy a set of quality forged wrenches or buy special tools if you work with bicycles, etc.
