Ratcheting Wrench 17 mm
A 17 mm ratcheting wrench built from alloy steel with a nickel-chrome finish. The 15-degree head offset and 15-degree opening angle let the tool engage fasteners in tight spots without removing and repositioning. Designed for technicians and DIYers who need a compact metric spanner for everyday mechanical work.
Alloy steel construction and offset head
The alloy steel body resists rounding while the nickel-chrome coating protects against corrosion. A 15-degree offset keeps knuckles clear of hot or obstructed surfaces, and the slim 5/16 in head thickness slides into narrow gaps. The 43/64 in head size matches the 17 mm opening for a precise fit on hex fasteners.
Ready-to-use single wrench
Supplied as a single 17 mm piece with no additional sockets, adapters or storage tray required. The integrated ratchet mechanism removes the need for separate drive tools, reducing the number of items carried to the job. Ideal for users who want one dedicated metric size rather than a full set.

Questions about this item
What does the 15-degree head offset angle allow when turning a 17 mm fastener?
The 15-degree head offset angle lets the wrench clear nearby obstructions while maintaining engagement on the 17 mm hex, reducing the swing needed per ratchet click.
What clearance is required for the 5/16-inch head thickness and 8 3/4-inch overall length?
The head measures 5/16 inch thick and the wrench is 8 3/4 inches long, so allow at least that depth and length in the work area for the 17 mm head to seat fully.
How do you engage the ratchet mechanism on the 17 mm head without rounding the fastener?
Seat the 17 mm hex opening fully on the fastener, then use the offset handle to apply steady force; the 15-degree opening angle lets the pawl engage on a short swing.
