Built for Large Industrial Fasteners
Designed for 46mm large nuts commonly used in industrial machinery, steel structures, construction assemblies, and heavy automotive maintenance where standard wrenches are insufficient.
12-Point Ratcheting Box End
Forged from premium chrome vanadium steel for superior strength and durability. 12-point box end reduces fastener rounding with off-corner loading design.
Friction-Type Ratcheting Mechanism
Friction-based ratcheting action allows continuous tightening or loosening without frequent repositioning, improving efficiency when working in tight or restricted industrial spaces.
Heavy Duty Tool for Professional Use
Durable metal construction supports repeated use in construction, scaffolding, industrial maintenance, and automotive repair applications requiring reliable large-size hand tools.

A friction wrench operates differently from conventional ratcheting wrenches. Instead of using internal gear teeth to create the ratcheting motion, it relies on friction plates or surfaces that grip in one direction while allowing free rotation in the other.
Q1: What size fasteners does this 46mm wrench fit?
This wrench fits 46mm hex nuts and bolt heads, equivalent to approximately 1-13/16 inches imperial. It’s the largest metric size in our lineup, designed for heavy industrial machinery, mining equipment, infrastructure projects, and power generation applications.
Q2: What does the 12-point box end design offer?
The 12-point design engages fasteners every 30 degrees instead of 60 degrees, providing more positioning flexibility in tight spaces. The off-corner loading design distributes force to reduce fastener rounding, protecting bolt heads during high-torque applications.
Q3: Why choose friction ratcheting over gear-based ratcheting for large fasteners?
Large fasteners require extreme torque that can strip gear teeth in traditional ratchets. The friction mechanism uses friction surfaces instead of gears, providing reliable grip regardless of torque load. This is critical for seized, corroded, or high-tension industrial fasteners.
Q4: What industries commonly use 46mm fasteners?
The 46mm size is common in heavy industrial machinery, mining and quarry equipment, power generation facilities, infrastructure projects (bridges, towers), marine and offshore applications, and large-scale construction. It’s the go-to size for the biggest metric fasteners in heavy industry.
Q5: Is this wrench suitable for bolts, nuts, AND industrial fittings?
Yes. The 46mm box end fits standard hex nuts and bolt heads, as well as hex-shaped industrial fittings common in piping, hydraulic systems, and processing equipment. The friction ratcheting mechanism works effectively on all hex-shaped 46mm fasteners.
