Socket Wrench Gedore 6017560

The Gedore 6017560 socket wrench is a compact, chrome-plated hand tool designed for reliable torque transmission in confined spaces. Manufactured from Gedore vanadium steel (31CrV3), the wrench combines a strong but thin-walled ring with a deep offset profile, meeting relevant DIN and ISO form standards for ring-type spanners. Weighing approximately 258 g and presented in a small package, the tool is intended for mechanical maintenance where durability and a slim profile are required.

Advantages

The deep-offset ring allows access to recessed or obstructed fasteners while the thin wall construction reduces clearance requirements without sacrificing strength. Chrome plating protects the surface against corrosion and facilitates cleaning. The use of high-strength vanadium alloy steel provides good fatigue resistance and a long service life under typical workshop loads.

How to use

Select the socket wrench size that matches the fastener head and place the ring fully over the nut or bolt. Use steady, controlled force to turn the fastener, keeping the wrench aligned with the fastener axis to avoid slipping. The deep offset is useful for reaching recessed fasteners; position the handle to provide clearance from surrounding obstructions. After use, clean off grease and debris and store the tool in a dry place to preserve the chrome finish.

Recommendations

Do not use the wrench as a hammer or pry bar and avoid applying excessive impact loads. For high-torque requirements, use appropriate torque-limiting tools or a larger spanner rather than applying extra leverage through extensions, which may damage the thin-walled ring. Regularly inspect the tool for wear or distortion and replace if deformation or rounding is observed.
