Adjustable spanner Wera 05020170001 Jaw width 1.9 cm Plastic handle

Individually tested to IEC 60900 at 10,000 V for safe work at rated voltages up to 1,000 V, the Wera 05020170001 adjustable spanner combines an automatic jaw-grip mechanism with insulated two-component plastic handles. The tool accepts metric and imperial hex sizes within its range and features a ratchet function and corner-width rectangular prism design that enables a back-pivoting angle as small as 30°. Dimensions: jaw width 1.9 cm, length 270 mm, depth 65 mm, height 130 mm.

Advantages

The integrated lever mechanism automatically and continuously clamps hexagonal screws or bolts, reducing slippage and potential damage. The ratchet feature allows fast, uninterrupted screwdriving without withdrawing the tool. The single-arm construction combined with the corner-width prism and ratchet makes it suitable for work in confined spaces. Two-component plastic insulation and anti-slip protection at the handle tip increase user safety, while the sliding function enables contactless opening of the non-insulated jaws.

Suitable for

• Electrical work on live equipment up to 1,000 V (when used correctly)
• Maintenance and assembly of machinery with hex bolts and screws
• Work in confined or hard-to-reach spaces
• Applications requiring both metric and imperial sizes

How to use

Adjust the spanner so the automatic jaws engage the hexagon of the screw or bolt. Use the ratchet function to turn fast without removing the tool; reverse direction or reposition as required. For work near live conductors, ensure the tool's insulation is intact and observe safe working practices for VDE tools rated to 1,000 V. Use the corner-width prism and single-arm orientation to access tight spaces with reduced pivot angle.

Recommendations

Inspect the insulation before each use and do not use the tool if the two-component plastic handle or sliding mechanism is damaged. Follow applicable safety procedures when working on live circuits; the tool is tested to IEC 60900 and rated for use up to 1,000 V when used according to standards.
