Gedore 183 10 JC Hand Tool Set Gedore 183 10 JC 3066061

The Gedore 183 10 JC is a versatile adjustable plier-spanner designed to combine the functions of a spanner and pliers in one tool. Conforming to DIN ISO 5743, it covers gripping sizes from 0 to 52 mm (0 to 2"), allowing it to replace two complete open-ended spanner sets in both metric and inch dimensions. Manufactured from Gedore special hardened and tempered steel, the tool is built for high loads and reliable long-term use.

Advantages

The tool offers play-free positioning and secure locking of the selected opening size, reducing the risk of damaging edges or delicate surfaces such as chrome-plated fittings. A sliding mechanism with paralleled jaws enables practically stepless, quick and easy adjustment and allows activation from almost any setting. With a high mechanical ratio (>1:10) it provides strong pressing and clamping force, and it can be used as a ratchet spanner for quick tightening and loosening of hexagonal screws and nuts. Its ergonomic design supports optimum hand position for different jaw openings and it can function as a powerful vice when working on the move.

Key specifications

How to use

Select the required jaw opening by sliding the adjustment mechanism until the jaws fit the nut or workpiece without play, then secure the setting. Use the tool to tighten or loosen hexagonal screws and nuts in the usual way; when required, engage the ratchet-like action for faster operation. For tasks on delicate surfaces, position the jaws carefully and avoid excessive lateral force. The tool may also be used as a temporary vice or for bending and holding workpieces during on-site operations.

Recommendations

Inspect the tool regularly for wear or damage, keep the sliding mechanism clean and lightly lubricated, and avoid using the plier-spanner on fasteners that exceed the specified gripping range. For safe operation, apply controlled force and ensure correct jaw alignment to protect fastener edges and plated surfaces.
