New Zero Degree Wrenches deliver more torque in tight aviation applications

By General Aviation News Staff · March 26, 2020 ·

The new Spline Zero-Degree Offset Combination Wrenches from Snap-on Industrial feature a uni-directional, zero-degree offset gear design to deliver more power in less lateral space, helping to access and remove the most stubborn fasteners in tight spaces. 

The Spline Zero-Degree Offset Combination Wrenches feature ratcheting gears with up to 60 teeth, and work in conjunction with an 8-tooth pawl, which together minimizes swing arc needed to remove fasteners in restricted spaces, such as those found in aviation, according to company officials.

Additional features of the Spline Zero-Degree Offset Combination Wrenches include:

  • Cold-formed gears that use the same proprietary steel found in Snap-on sockets for added toughness and durability 
  • Flank Drive wrenching system on box-end that generates up to 15-20% more turning power than conventional wrenches, while minimizing risk of tool or fastener damage
  • Manufactured from special alloy steel, precision forged and heat treated for optimal strength and durability
  • 16 sizes from 7/32” to 1”

Prices range from $42 to $101.

    Hello,
    Both 5/16″ and 11/32″ are included in the set. 5/16″ (spline No. 10; part number SOSR10); 11/32″ (spline No. 11; part number SOSR11).
    Hope this helps!
    Steve

    NUTS!!! They don’t come in 5/16 or 11/32 which are two very common sizes in GA planes!
