Super Thin Wrenches Are Super Awesome

Now and then, I work on a project where my standard wrenches are too thick to access the fasteners. I bought a set of Capri Tools Super Thin Wrenches. They solved all of my problems.

These wrenches are perfect for reaching nuts and bolts in tight spaces. They range in thickness from 2.2mm (.086″) to 4.6mm (.181″), ensuring they will fit just about anywhere.

The wrench head is tilted at a 15-degree angle which really helps out in narrow spots. Simply make the turn, flip the wrench, make another turn, and repeat. This can be slow, but these tools make an otherwise impossible task now possible.

These wrenches are forged, which makes them surprisingly tough for their weight. They don’t flex while using them & the chrome plating has held up even with repeated use. I used to have a set of stamped wrenches that were not hardened and wore out quickly…they’ve been replaced without hesitation.

That said, these probably won’t replace your standard wrenches, especially for high torque requirements. But when access is limited and few wrenches will fit the job, these are the tools you’ll .come to reach for.

Amazon sells three sets of Capri Tools Super-Thin wrenches. You can buy the SAE set, the Metric set, or the Master set which contains both and comes with a professional storage tray. Individual wrenches are also available separately.

I own these. I use these. They work for me and I wish I had bought them years ago.
