Questions & Answers
I'm not sure what tool you're referring to, but the 10mm is 9.5" in length. I bought this wrench based on your recommendations, and it's 1/3rd shorter than what I require. So I figured I'd come in and clarify that the 10mm is actually a 9. 5”. I'm not sure what kind of tool these questions are asking for. There isn't even a drop-down menu to purchase different tools because they're all mixed up. This is just a standard 10mm listing.

The Gearwrench 85914XL measures about 12 inches in length.
It's a total of 12 from tip to tip. 75 inches

I'm in desperate need of a 16" 10mm lens. I searched and read this listing, but all I found were people who claimed it was 16 years old. 5”. So I thought it would be ideal; however, I wish people would list the item when making comments like that, just in case more than one item mixes with another, as is evident here. That, or I was sent the incorrect wrench, which is also a possibility. If it's the wrong wrench, I'll still be able to get a 16" 10mm, which I prefer. br>br>But while I'm here, let me at least write a first impressions review on the actual product. When I get it, it's nice and well-made. It has a slim profile and a rating of 9. From tip to tip, this piece measures 5" in length. The ratcheting is solid and loud, indicating that the gears are sturdy. Even though it is slim, the metal is strong and will not bend. If 9. This solid wrench is 5" long, which is a good length for you.
The 18mm bolts retaining the brake caliper carrier on the rear end of an Audi (allroad in my case, but many models are similar) are ace with this long wrench, among the many other great automotive uses already listed by other reviewers. br>br>When I first received this wrench, I was concerned that it would be too long to swing on the wheel well, but it turned out that I had just enough room. The ratcheting end, on the other hand, is too fat to slip over the lower bolts (which are also the bolts that are difficult to reach with a socket and ratchet - see below). Despite the fact that it isn't a low-cost option, Plan on using just the box end for this location instead of the profile socket and ratchet. Why is there such a long wrench? It's all about the torque! To crack these bolts with a standard length box wrench (up to some taps with a mallet), tremendous force is required. Because I'm never going to get a torque wrench into this tight spot, and using hammer blows to tighten a bolt is bad form, reassembly is a breeze. br>br>More importantly, reassembly is a breeze, because I'm never going to get a torque wrench into this tight spot, and using hammer blows to tighten a bolt is poor form. br>br>Instead, I'll just tighten it up as much as I can with this monstrously long wrench, and I'm pretty sure it's as tight as it was before I loosened it. br>br>It has a nice polished finish and is actually quite slim for its length. You have a nice collection there as well.
This thing is a beast, and many people don't realize that the box end, not the ratcheting end, is used to break the nut or bolt free. When used properly, the wrench will last for a very long time.
I haven't tried the replacement wrench yet, but I believe the box end's walls aren't thick enough to withstand the torque that can be applied to a wrench that long. Any significant amount of torque applied to the box end wall could fracture it, as demonstrated by the first wrench I received, which already had that condition.
It's been a few weeks since I've had it, and I have to say, it's been AMAZING! A couple of guys in our shop got a set of these long ratcheting wrenches, but they were TOOL TRUCK BRAND. I insisted that one of my guys use it when it was needed, and they both said it was fantastic! AWESOME leverage! THOSE TOOL TRUCK TOOLS ARE NOT ALWAYS REQUIRED. Yes, they are required to provide some specialized items, but FOR THE MOST PART____.
After three years, it still hasn't broken, despite the fact that I abuse it. I'd suggest it.
I work at a GMC dealership, so we have a lot of Yukons, Sierras, and other vehicles, and I have yet to find a better wrench for reaching the upper control arm camber and caster bolts. With just one wrench, you can turn a 45-minute job into a 15-minute job. Easily a 20-minute job.
I purchased this to tighten down my truck's header bolts. The wrench has a sleek but sturdy design that allows it to fit into even the tightest of spaces.
