Ratcheting combination wrench 18 mm, 12-point profile, chrome-plated, 237 mm - Bahco 1RM-18

The Bahco 1RM-18 ratcheting combination wrench takes fasteners with 18 mm across flats and drives them from a ring end fitted with a ratchet. The wrench stays on the nut between pulls and needs a swing-back angle of only 5 degrees, which removes every repositioning step a rigid ring wrench would require in a tight assembly space. Overall length is 237 mm at a weight of 213 g.

• Ratchet in the ring end with a 5 degree swing-back angle, enough for fasteners set between profiles, cable ducts and enclosure walls.
• Double hexagon with Dynamic-Drive profile, load is carried by the flats of the fastener instead of its corners, so hexagon and bi-hexagon heads stay in shape over many tightening cycles.
• Open jaw angled at 15 degrees on a slim head, so the open side still reaches fasteners next to closely mounted parts.
• Ring end offset by 15 degrees, which keeps the hand clear of the joint.
• Reversing lever on the ratchet head, direction changes without turning the wrench over.
• High-performance steel alloy with a chrome-plated micro-matt finish, enlarged size markings on both sides for fast picking from a set.

Applications

Assembly and maintenance on machines, plant and control cabinets, equipment manufacturing, vehicle and plant engineering. Useful wherever 18 mm fasteners have to be released and tightened with limited swing clearance.

Standards and compliance

The wrench conforms to ISO 1711-1 and DIN 3113. It is not an ESD version, the manufacturer property table states ESD safe as no. It is not intended for work on live parts either, that work calls for VDE tools tested to IEC 60900.
