46 mm Wrenches | McMaster-Carr

Your go-to wrenches for routine maintenance. With two different ends, you need fewer tools to tighten and loosen nuts and bolts. The open end slides onto the side of fasteners for adjustments in tight spots. When nuts and bolts won't budge, the box end fully encircles them to apply maximum torque. Drop forged for added strength, these wrenches will be part of your toolbox for life.

12-Point Opening—The most common opening, these wrenches work on hex and 12-point nuts and bolts. They slide onto hex heads at more angles than 6-point fasteners for quicker engagement, but they're more likely to slip when you apply more torque.

Chrome-Plated Steel—The most popular finish, these wrenches won't rust or chip. Although they withstand moisture better than black oxide, they don't hold up to harsh chemicals as well as stainless steel.

Dull—With a textured finish, these wrenches won't slip out of your hands, even when greasy or oily.

Tight-Clearance Open-End Wrenches

Round

Opening

Twist thin fasteners in cramped spots where other wrenches are too bulky. With a head and handle about half as thick as standard wrenches, it's easier to grip nuts found in electrical enclosures and small machinery. These wrenches are ASME certified—they handle more torque than run-of-the-mill alternatives and precisely fit fasteners so they don't round them off. Drop forged for added strength, they will be part of your toolbox for life. Also known as check nut or service wrenches.

Round Opening—The rounded edges spread force evenly to prevent stripping your fasteners. Use them on hex-head fasteners.

Dull—With a textured finish, these wrenches won't slip out of your hands, even when greasy or oily.

Open-End Wrenches

Round

Opening

Adjust fasteners in tight spots such as motor housings, HVAC systems, and under sinks when you can't get a grip from the top. Slip around nuts and bolts from the side, unlike box wrenches that require more space to fit over fasteners. These wrenches are ASME or DIN certified—they handle more torque than run-of-the-mill alternatives and precisely fit fasteners so they don't round them off. Drop forged for added strength, they will be part of your toolbox for life.

Round Opening—The rounded edges spread force evenly to prevent stripping your fasteners. Use them on hex-head fasteners.

Black Phosphate-Coated Steel—The dark coating on these wrenches forms a rust-resistant barrier, making them good for wet areas. However, they won't hold up to salt water and chemicals. The coating is textured for a firm grip, even when your hands are greasy.

Double Open-End Wrenches

Round

Opening

Switch between two different-sized fasteners without swapping out your wrenches. The two heads save you time, while reducing the number of tools you need to keep on hand. Drop forged for added strength, these wrenches will be part of your toolbox for life.

Ratcheting Combination Wrenches

12-Point

Opening

Turn nuts and bolts without having to remove and reposition these wrenches. They're commonly used where you don't have enough space for full turns. To switch between loosening and tightening, flip them over.

Polished—The smooth surface is easy to wipe clean of grime. The mirror-like finish lends a high-end look to any toolkit.

Wrench Heads


Wrench and Socket Extension Not Included

Reach nuts obstructed by a fluid line or other barrier with these wrench heads. Connect them to your socket extension and ratchet wrench to turn fasteners where clearance is limited from both the top and side. You can also attach one directly to your ratchet wrench to convert it into an open-ended ratcheting wrench. Also known as crowfoot wrenches.

Opening

Don't wrestle with stuck fasteners. Strike the handle with a hammer to break them free. Designed to take the hits, these wrenches are drop forged for added strength and will be part of your toolbox for life. Also known as slugging wrenches.

Round Opening—The rounded edges spread force evenly to prevent stripping your fasteners. Use them on hex-head fasteners.

Also known as slugging wrenches, strike the handle with a hammer to break stuck fasteners free.

12-Point Opening—Wrenches with a 12-point opening are easier to position on hex fasteners than wrenches with a 6-point opening but make less contact.
