Description
This is a full size big wrench!
Hermetically sealed!
Members of the U.S. military Explosive Ordinance Disposal teams keep asking for us to make light weight, non-magnetic wrenches for working on magnetically sensitive devices, and this is what we provide them:
Specs:
- Weighs: only 4.68 oz.
- Grade 4 Titanium
- Length: 8”
- Jaw Opening: 1"
- 6 Tether Holes
- Super Strong
- NSN Pending
- Marked "Titanium - CAGE: 5VKB6"
The background:
This is a project we have been working on for two years. Most wrenches are forged from tool steel, but It was determined that this wrench must be Titanium. Why Titanium? It’s extremely corrosion resistant, featuring No/Low magnetic signature. Extraordinarily strong, titanium possesses a greater strength-to-weight ratio than stainless, steel or aluminum. Titanium weighs about 60% less than steel in density, producing tools at nearly half the weight of steel.
This means that the wrench needed to be machined out of a solid billet of Titanium. Making an adjustable wrench in the machine shop is a lot more complicated than it sounds.
