Socket Wrench Gedore SB 183 10 JC S-002

The Gedore SB 183 10 JC S-002 socket wrench is an adjustable, universal hand tool that combines the functions of a spanner and pliers. Constructed from Gedore special hardened and tempered steel, it delivers high pressing and clamping forces while providing secure, play-free positioning. Its compact design and sliding mechanism allow quick, practically stepless adjustment and use in confined spaces.

Advantages

This tool can replace two complete open-ended spanner sets (metric and inch) with a gripping range of 0–52 mm (0–2"). The paralleled jaws and sliding mechanism enable careful assembly of bolt connections without damaging delicate surfaces. The setting locks securely once the opening size is selected, and the sliding mechanism can be activated from almost any position. With a high mechanical ratio (>1:10) it provides strong pressing and clamping force, and it can also be used as a portable vice or as a "ratchet spanner" for quick tightening and loosening of hexagonal screws and nuts.

Suitable for

• Bending, holding, pressing and gripping various workpieces
• Assembly and maintenance where careful handling of chrome-plated or delicate fittings is required
• Tasks requiring both metric and inch spanner sizes without changing tools
• Work in tight or confined spaces where compact, adjustable tools are needed

How to use

Select the approximate opening by sliding the mechanism, position the paralleled jaws around the fastener or workpiece, then lock the setting by releasing the sliding mechanism so it engages. For tightening or loosening hexagonal screws and nuts, use the tool as a "ratchet spanner" by working it back and forth in the constrained space. To use as a vice or for pressing, ensure the jaws are set firmly and apply steady pressure while maintaining hand alignment to the jaw opening to ensure ergonomic operation.

Recommendations

Inspect the tool before use for wear or damage and keep the sliding mechanism clean and lightly lubricated. Avoid using the tool on fasteners larger than the specified gripping range and do not use it as a substitute for dedicated torque-controlled tools where precise torque values are required.
