Part #: 85988 85987

The GearWrench 85988 and 85987 XL GearBox Double Box Ratcheting Metric Wrench Sets offer professional-grade performance and versatility for demanding automotive and industrial applications. Designed for efficiency and durability, these sets provide technicians with the extended reach and strong torque required to tackle a wide range of fasteners. The innovative ratcheting mechanism and robust construction ensure reliable operation in challenging environments.

Key Features

  • 72-Tooth Ratcheting Box End: Each wrench features a 72-tooth ratcheting box end that requires a minimal 5° to move fasteners, significantly improving speed and access in confined spaces compared to standard wrenches.
  • XL GearBox Design for Increased Leverage: The extra-long beam design of these XL GearBox wrenches provides up to 40% more length than standard double box ratcheting wrenches, delivering enhanced leverage and torque for breaking loose stubborn or rusted fasteners.
  • Off-Corner Loading and 0° Offset: An off-corner loading design on the box end provides a better grip on fasteners and helps reduce rounding, while the 0° offset on both ends and slim profile allow for greater access to fasteners in tight and recessed areas.
  • Comprehensive Metric Sizing: The 85988 set includes 12 metric wrenches from 8mm to 19mm, while the 85987 add-on set provides 5 additional sizes from 20mm to 25mm, offering a broad range of coverage for diverse tasks.
  • Durable Alloy Steel Construction: Manufactured from strong alloy steel, specifically chrome vanadium steel, these wrenches are built for long-lasting wear resistance and tool life, complemented by a bright, full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.
  • Non-Ratcheting End for Stubborn Fasteners: A non-ratcheting box end is integrated for effectively breaking loose heavily torqued or seized fasteners before engaging the ratcheting mechanism for quick removal.

Applications

These GearWrench XL GearBox sets are ideal for professional technicians and mechanics. They are particularly well-suited for automotive repair and maintenance, enabling efficient work on engines, transmissions, and undercarriages where access is often limited. Their durability also makes them valuable in industrial and mechanical environments, including machinery repair, assembly lines, and general maintenance tasks requiring precise and rapid fastener manipulation.
