Product Description
The Supco RW516 is a heavy-duty, double-ended reversing ratchet wrench engineered specifically for HVAC and refrigeration professionals. Designed to provide maximum leverage in tight spaces, this essential hand tool features the two most common service valve sizes—5/16” and 1/4” square drives—allowing technicians to quickly open, close, and adjust compressor service valves, acetylene tanks, and refrigerant cylinders without slipping or rounding off valve stems.
Featuring a rugged, all-metal construction, this compact ratchet delivers high-torque reliability for opening stuck or frozen valves on commercial refrigeration racks, rooftop AC units, and residential split systems.
Features and Benefits:
- The Perfect Dual-Size Combination: No need to switch between multiple tools. One end features a 1/4” square drive while the opposite end offers a 5/16” square drive, covering the vast majority of standard air conditioning and refrigeration valve stems
- Quick Reversing Action: Features a crisp, easy-to-flip directional lever on both ends, allowing you to switch from tightening to loosening instantly with a single thumb motion—even while wearing heavy work gloves
- Knuckle-Saving Low Profile: Its slim, flat-profile design slips effortlessly into cramped condenser cabinets, behind compressor lines, and into tight spaces where standard wrenches can't reach
- Built for the Field: Constructed from high-tensile treated steel to resist rounding, stripping, and corrosion on damp, outdoor job sites
- 1/4" - 3/16" Sq. x 3/8" - 5/16" Hex
Applications:
- Air conditioning and refrigeration wrench
- Opening and closing liquid and suction line service valves on residential and commercial AC units
