Wrenches & Ratchets

Ratchets & Wrenches

The Wrenches & Ratchets category includes the high-torque tools HVAC pros use to tighten, loosen and service critical mechanical connections. From condenser service valves and flare nuts to brackets, hangers and gas piping, the right wrench or ratchet helps you apply controlled force without rounding fasteners or damaging components.

Here you’ll find adjustable wrenches, combination wrenches, service valve wrenches, flare nut wrenches, pipe wrenches, ratcheting box wrenches, socket sets, stubby ratchets and specialty HVAC ratcheting drivers. These tools are designed for line set connections, mini-split flares, compressor mounts, hanger rods, unions, gas valves and general mechanical assemblies.

• Service & flare nut wrenches sized for refrigeration and mini-split fittings.
• Adjustable & pipe wrenches for piping, unions and heavy mechanical joints.
• Ratcheting combination wrenches for faster work in tight spaces.
• Sockets & ratchets for equipment mounting, brackets and hardware.
• Stubby & offset wrench styles for crowded air handlers and condensers.

When selecting wrenches and ratchets for HVAC, look at jaw design, fastener contact (6-point vs 12-point), handle length and leverage, head angle, ratcheting direction change, and corrosion resistance. Properly fitting wrenches protect soft brass flare nuts and minimize callbacks caused by leaks or damaged fittings.

Pro tip: Use flare nut wrenches—not standard open-end wrenches—on copper flare fittings. The extra contact around the nut prevents rounding, especially on R410A/R32 systems where proper torque is critical.
