Slogging Wrenches

What does a slogging wrench do?

A slogging wrench is a sturdy wrench you use with a hammer. You strike the impact face to break free rusted nuts or to tighten them extremely. This works especially well in heavy applications, such as on axles or suspension components. The impact ring absorbs the blow and transfers it directly to the nut or bolt.

Which version do you choose?

When choosing, pay attention to the across flats size. It must fit the nut or bolt exactly. The length of the shaft determines how far you can reach. Choose a short shaft for tight spaces and a long shaft for more reach. Some versions have a hanging hole for wall storage. Also check whether you need a twelve-point or an E-profile for Torx.

What to consider when ordering?

A slogging wrench is not a socket or ratchet. Do not use it with a torque wrench, as the blows will damage the mechanism. Production and dimensions follow the DIN standard. This ensures the wrench can handle the blows without deforming. Always choose the correct size, as a loose-fitting wrench will damage the nut or bolt.

You will find slogging wrenches under spanners. For everyday work you reach for combination spanners or double ring spanners, which give you more torque with a ring. If a ring will not fit over the thread, an open ring spanner offers a way out, and in places a socket cannot reach you use a crowfoot spanner.
