The Bahco BAH6MV-17 1000V Insulated Open End Wrench (17 mm) is engineered for professional automotive and industrial technicians working on or near live electrical systems. This high-performance tool combines robust Chrome-Vanadium steel construction with advanced multi-layer insulation, providing critical safety and reliable performance for demanding tasks. It is designed to offer a precise fit and exceptional durability in environments requiring insulated hand tools.

Key Features

Certified 1000V Insulation: Individually tested to 10,000V AC and rated for safe use up to 1000V AC and 1500V DC, meeting the stringent requirements of IEC 60900.
Multi-Layer Safety Coating: Features a 3-layer color insulation coating plus a fourth black layer to protect handle edges. The distinct red (safety), orange (danger), and yellow (high danger) layers provide a clear visual warning system; if the outer layer is compromised, a lighter color underneath becomes visible, signaling potential damage.
Durable Chrome-Vanadium Steel: Constructed from high-performance Chrome-Vanadium alloy steel, ensuring superior strength, exceptional durability, and resistance to corrosion and wear for long-term professional use.
Precision Opening: Manufactured with opening tolerances that adhere to ISO 691, guaranteeing an accurate and consistent fit for metric fasteners, which enhances efficiency and reduces fastener damage.
Impact and Flame Resistant: The insulating material is impact resistant and flame retardant, adding an extra layer of protection in hazardous work environments.

Applications

This 17 mm insulated open end wrench is an essential tool for electricians, EV and hybrid vehicle technicians, industrial maintenance professionals, and utility workers. It is ideally suited for tasks involving the installation, maintenance, and repair of electrical components, switchgear, control panels, and other systems where protection against electrical shock up to 1000V is paramount. Its robust design also supports general mechanical applications requiring a precise and durable metric open end wrench.
