Über Konusschlüssel: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Cone wrenches are similar to ordinary double-ended open-end wrenches , except that they are much thinner. A typical good quality 14-millimeter open-end wrench or six-inch adjustable wrench is about seven millimeters (0.28-inch) thick; cheap wrenches are thicker still. Cone wrenches, however, are usually only two millimeters (0.08-inch) thick.

In most cases, a standard open-end or adjustable wrench can be used for cone locknuts, but the cones themselves can be adjusted only with a cone wrench, because of narrow flats and close clearances.
