Work on plant built to inch sizes needs the exact across flats size, not the closest metric one. This Knipex open-end wrench covers 5/8", which equals 15.88 mm, and comes from the insulated 98 00 series for live working up to 1000 V.

Benefits

  • Across flats size 5/8" grips inch hexagons without play, equal to 15.88 mm.
  • The 15° jaw angle lets you reposition the wrench by half a hexagon flat, even where swing space inside a cabinet is tight.
  • Chrome-plated base tool, resistant to moisture and quickly wiped clean.
  • Insulated design of the 98 00 series to IEC 60900, made for working on live parts up to 1000 V.
  • One-piece tool without a joint, so there is no play in the jaw and nothing to maintain.
  • The inch size completes the metric range of the same series, keeping tool kit and spares consistent.

Applications

Medium sizes cover cable lugs, terminal boxes and fittings on machinery.

  • Cable lugs and clamped joints on motors
  • Fittings on distribution boards and terminal boxes
  • Maintenance on machinery built to inch sizes

Standards and conformity

The item belongs to the VDE 1000 V tools to IEC 60900. The 98 00 series is made to DIN EN 60900 and IEC 60900. As always, check the insulation for damage before every job on live parts.

Knipex publishes no separate weight, length or EAN for this inch size. We will add the figures as soon as the manufacturer releases them.
