Super-Thin Open End Wrench 16 mm x 17 mm

The Capri Tools 11850-1617 is a double-ended hand wrench sized for 16 mm and 17 mm fasteners. Its ultra-low 4.6 mm profile reaches bolts in tight clearance where standard wrenches cannot fit. It is built for professional mechanics and serious DIY users who need reliable access in confined spaces.

15-degree offset head and SmartKrome finish

Each open end is tipped at a 15-degree angle, allowing the user to flip the wrench after every turn to re-engage the fastener quickly in narrow spots. The Chrome Vanadium steel undergoes a 10-step heat treatment for strength, while the SmartKrome plating provides corrosion resistance and a durable surface that withstands daily shop use.

Forged Chrome Vanadium construction for daily

The wrench is forged from premium Chrome Vanadium steel and finished with flawless SmartKrome plating to resist rust and wear over time. Its super-thin 4.6 mm jaws slip into tight engine bays and machinery gaps without damaging surrounding components. Buyers needing ratcheting action or larger drive sizes should consider other tool types.

Questions about this item

Does the 4.6 mm thin head need any lubrication or replacement parts over time?

The wrench is a single-piece forging with no moving parts, so no lubrication or spare components are required.

What stops me from torquing a 16 mm or 17 mm fastener continuously with this wrench?

The 15-degree offset and 4.6 mm thickness limit leverage, so hand strength and fastener access become the practical limits.

Does the SmartKrome plating get hot or make the tool slippery during all-day use?

The plating adds corrosion resistance only; the thin Chrome Vanadium steel body stays at ambient temperature and the open ends grip the fastener directly.
