Description

Double Offset Ratchet Wrench, 8 x 10mm – Glow Plug Specialist Tool

Brief Overview

This is a precision double-offset ratchet wrench engineered specifically for glow plug installation and removal on diesel engines—particularly in confined spaces between the motor unit and fuel injection pump. The offset box-end design and reversible ratchet mechanism provide the leverage and accessibility needed for this specialized task on VW, Audi, BMW, and Renault diesel powerplants. If you stock diesel engine service tools, this pairs well with other offset ratchet designs and quarter-inch ratchet wrenches to cover the full range of glow plug applications.

Key Features

  • Double-offset box-end heads – Each end features a hexagon multi-point profile, offset at both the head and handle to reach glow plugs in tight engine compartment locations
  • Reversible ratchet mechanism – Integrated pawl lever at each end allows rapid direction reversal without tool removal
  • Compact 300mm length – Slim profile designed for access between engine block and injection pump assembly
  • 8 x 10mm size range – Covers standard glow plug fastener sizes across common diesel platforms
  • Chrome-plated steel construction – Corrosion-resistant finish rated for automotive shop environments
  • Precision-riveted handle – Robust assembly with no flex or rattle under operational torque
