REFTHE / Wrenches for refrigeration
Combined keys, hatch, adjustable and for pipes: organized for access, profile and work on the refrigerator circuit. First we understand what you have to grasp; then we choose the key.
Raccordo. Don't mark the dice.
Tubo. Lock without deforming.
Spazio. Reduce unnecessary maneuvers.
Coppia. Don't improvise.
Choice Wizard
In “English Key” refrigeration is too generic. The correct family depends on nut, pipe, access, material and risk of damaging the component.
Catalogue for use
Choose a family to compare employment, access and limits. The links to manufacturers open their catalogues; they do not identify a model already tried by REFTHE.
The metric base: open mouth and ring. To be ordered for measures really present in the field.

Before choosing the set, note the most frequent measurements on the machines and brackets you really follow.
Useful when space prevents you to parade the key to each movement. The choice is made on thickness and clutter of the head.
Pour them for measures not included in the set. Their role is not to replace each fixed key: hooks and pcapacity must be respected.
For tubing and robust components. Keep separate from the keys for delicate fittings and direct use on copper.
A category to be connected to diameter, material, and possibility to contain. Useful, but not universal.
To be arranged for attack, measures, extensions and accessibility. The best set is what avoids returning to the van.
The eight developed families
Each family starts from a concrete problem and indicates what to compare. Use the criteria to check the model in the manufacturer's catalog.
The front door of the kit: a mouth for fast access and a ring to work seamlessly when the nut allows it.
For points where you can't parade and reposition the key to each movement. Rapidity only has value if the head really enters space.
The solution for variable openings and non-standard interventions. They are effective when the jaw is precisely adjusted and supports correctly.
Family for pipes and robust components, where the pcapacity and the lever are the criterion. It is not the tool to use on flare nuts or delicate copper.
Compact and fast to block or hold back. Compare opening, adjustment, jaws profile and comfort.
A family to select for the connection type and material. The correct support comes before force, especially when the nut does not have to round.
To work deep and repeat operations without changing pcapacity continuously. The assortment must follow the plants, not the desire to have everything.
Tools for valves, panels and components: the most important family to avoid improvised adaptations during an intervention.
