Description
Yato ratcheting combination spanner CrV6140 is a versatile tool that combines the features of an open-end spanner and a ratchet ring spanner in the same body. This tool is designed to make work more efficient and reduce the time needed by eliminating unnecessary movements during the work cycle, such as removing the spanner and placing it back on the nut. It is excellent for places where space is limited and undoing or tightening bolts or nuts with traditional spanners is awkward.
The spanner is made of high-quality CrV 6140 tool steel, which guarantees strength and a long life. Its surface is chrome-plated and polished, which not only gives the tool a neat appearance but also protects it from corrosion and makes it easier to clean after use. The hardness of the tool is in the 42–49 HRC class, which indicates durability against mechanical stress.
The ratchet mechanism has 72 teeth, which allows a very small working angle of only 5 degrees. This feature lets you work effectively with the tool in very tight spaces. The ring end has a specially shaped 12-point profile and AS-DRIVE system, which spreads the force more evenly over the flanks of the fastener, reducing the risk of damaging the head and improving grip even on worn nuts.
Intended use:
- Vehicle servicing: Excellent for working on bolts and nuts in tight spots in the engine compartment and underbody.
- Machine installation: Makes installation work more efficient where using ordinary spanners is slow or impossible because of lack of space.

Yato ratcheting combination spanner CrV6140 instructions for use:
Choose a ratcheting combination spanner of the right size for the bolt or nut. Use the open end for initial tightening or final loosening if a lot of force is needed. Use the ratchet end for the actual screwing in tight spaces or to speed up work. The direction of the ratchet end is changed by turning the spanner over. Make sure the ratchet mechanism is fully engaged before applying force. Do not overload the ratchet. After use, clean dirt and oil off the spanner and store it in a dry place.
Warnings:
- Do not use the ratchet end for breaking bolts or nuts loose or for final tightening if very high torque is needed. Use the open end or a torque wrench for that.
- Always wear safety glasses when using tools.
- Do not use the spanner with an extension bar.
- Do not use a damaged tool.
- Make sure the spanner sits tightly on the fastener.
- Keep out of the reach of children.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
- Can this spanner undo tight bolts?: The ratchet mechanism is designed for fast screwing. For undoing very tight bolts or final tightening, it is recommended to use the open end of the spanner or a separate breaker bar.
- How is the direction of the ratchet changed?: This model has no separate lever for changing direction. The direction is changed by turning the whole spanner over.
- What is the advantage of the AS-DRIVE system?: The AS-DRIVE profile spreads the force over the flanks of the nut instead of concentrating it on the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding the nut head and improves grip.
- Is the tool stainless?: CrV steel and chrome plating give good protection against rust, but the tool is not fully stainless. Clean and dry it after use and protect it with a light layer of oil if it is exposed to moisture.
Recycling instructions:
