Metrinch Tools
A nut or a bolt has flats and corners. The corners are more easily
damaged and do not offer the optimum grip for a tool.
In developing the
Metrinch tool system Jozef Ruzicka had the aim to design sockets and
spanners, which would not only have longer effective life, but would
also ensure minimal damage to the fasteners on which they are used.
The
patented Metrinch Wall Drive profile drives only on the flats and not
on the corners. The dimensions of Metrinch sockets and spanners have
been precisely calculated, so that a single Metrinch tool will operate
on both metric and inch series fasteners. For example, with a spanner
19 mm it is possible not only to tighten or undo a metric nut or bolt,
but also the inch bolts 3/4" AF, 3/8" BSW and 7/16" BSF.
Even when such
bolts have become worn, damaged or completely rounded by abrasion. A
further major advantage in terms of application is that the Metrinch
Wall Drive profile can be used on open-end spanners as well as on
sockets and ring-spanners.
Metrinch open-end spanners always provide a
4-point grip instead of the 2-point grip characterizing the traditional
profile.
You will see the most popular kits below for purchase online, however we do stock the entire range and can ship just one socket if required!
