Fixman Flexible Ratchet Combination Wrench 27mm 72-Tooth
At a Glance: Professional 27mm chrome vanadium combination wrench with a flexible 72-tooth ratcheting ring head and a practical 5° working arc.
The Fixman 27mm Flexible Ratchet Combination Wrench brings together the accessibility of a traditional open-ended wrench and the speed of a fine-tooth ratcheting ring. Its flexible ring head pivots to reach fasteners from more convenient working angles, making it particularly useful around obstructions and inside confined mechanical assemblies. The 72-tooth ratchet requires only a 5° handle movement between engagements, allowing fasteners to be turned where a conventional wrench would have limited room to swing. Manufactured from durable chrome vanadium steel with a polished chrome finish, this is a reliable addition to any professional workshop, service kit or mechanical toolbox.
The pivoting ring head can be angled to suit the available working space, while the fine-tooth mechanism requires only a 5° swing arc. This combination makes the wrench faster and easier to use around nearby components where access is restricted.
Product highlights
- 27mm combination wrench: Features an open end and ratcheting ring end in the same commonly used metric size.
- Flexible ratchet head: The ring head pivots to approach fasteners from different working angles.
- 72-tooth mechanism: Fine ratchet gearing provides smooth operation with a small 5° working arc.
- Faster fastening: The ratcheting ring allows continuous turning without repeatedly lifting the wrench from the fastener.
- Chrome vanadium steel: Strong CR-V construction provides durability for regular mechanical and workshop use.
- Polished chrome finish: Provides a smooth professional surface that is easy to wipe clean.
- Restricted-access performance: The flexible head and small swing arc make the tool particularly useful in confined spaces.
- Clear size marking: The 27mm marking is easy to identify when selecting a wrench from a toolbox.
Features
- Combination design: Includes a 27mm open end for convenient initial positioning and a 27mm ratcheting ring for efficient turning.
- Pivoting ring end: Allows the ratchet head angle to be adjusted around obstructions and recessed fasteners.
- Fine 72-tooth gearing: Provides frequent engagement points for smooth and controlled operation.
- 5° working arc: Requires limited handle movement between ratchet engagements.
- CR-V steel body: Chrome vanadium construction delivers dependable strength and durability.
- Chrome-plated finish: Helps protect the wrench surface and makes workshop cleaning easier.
- Flat-profile handle: Provides a comfortable gripping surface and useful reach.
- Permanent size identification: Clearly marked for quick selection and convenient tool organisation.
Benefits
- Improved access: The flexible ring head can be angled to reach fasteners that are awkward for a fixed-head wrench.
- Quicker fastening: The ratcheting mechanism reduces the need to remove and reposition the wrench after every turn.
- Works in confined spaces: The fine 5° swing arc is ideal where surrounding components restrict handle movement.
- Two useful ends: The open end is convenient for rapid placement, while the ring end provides secure engagement and ratcheting speed.
- Controlled operation: The 72-tooth mechanism gives the user precise movement when approaching the required fastener position.
- Built for regular use: Chrome vanadium steel construction provides the durability required for workshop and maintenance applications.
Application
- Tightening and loosening compatible 27mm metric nuts and bolt heads.
- Automotive servicing and mechanical repair work.
- Machinery, agricultural equipment and plant maintenance.
- Working around hoses, brackets and nearby components.
- Accessing fasteners positioned at awkward working angles.
- Assembly, installation and general workshop tasks.
- Applications where a conventional wrench has insufficient swing clearance.
Extra Information
- A 72-tooth ratchet divides a full rotation into 72 engagement positions, producing a working arc of approximately 5°.
- The flexible ring head should be aligned as squarely as possible with the fastener before applying force.
- Use the open end for convenient positioning and the ratcheting ring end for efficient repeated turning.
- Reverse the ratcheting direction by turning the wrench over and engaging the ring end from the opposite side.
- Confirm that the fastener is metric and exactly 27mm before applying force.
- This hand wrench is not intended for use as a striking tool or with an extension pipe.
Pro Tips
- Use the open end to break a lightly tightened fastener free, then change to the ratcheting ring end for faster removal.
- For stubborn or heavily seized fasteners, use an appropriate fixed ring wrench or socket and breaker bar before using the ratchet mechanism.
- Adjust the flexible head before placing the wrench onto the fastener rather than forcing the joint while under load.
- Keep the ring end fully seated on the nut or bolt head to reduce the risk of slipping and rounding the fastener.
- Use smooth, controlled pressure and pull the wrench towards you where practical for improved balance.
- Wipe the tool clean after use and keep the ratchet mechanism free from dirt and metal particles.
How to Use
- Confirm that the nut or bolt head is metric and measures 27mm across the flats.
- Inspect the fastener and wrench for wear, damage, dirt or contamination.
- Adjust the flexible ring head to a suitable working angle for the available space.
- Place the ring end completely over the fastener so that it sits squarely and securely.
- Apply light pressure to confirm that the ratchet turns in the required direction.
- Move the handle through the available arc and allow the ratchet to reset on the return stroke.
- Repeat the movement until the fastener reaches the required position.
- To change direction, remove the wrench, turn it over and refit the ratcheting ring from the opposite side.
- Apply the final tightening torque with an appropriate calibrated torque wrench where a specified torque value is required.
