Snap-on offers improved specialty wrench for GE 1.5 hub hatches

By Paul Dvorak | June 17, 2016

The hub hatch tool eliminates homemade tooling, providing an ergonomic, safe product made using accepted tool manufacturing practices.

The hub hatch tool eliminates homemade tooling, provides an ergonomic, safe product, and is manufactured using accepted practices.

Entering a GE 1.5 turbine hub often requires loosening multiple 14mm Allen head bolts. Tooling used for this application has taken on many forms over the last several years.  Many technicians have fabricated their own , some of which work better than others.  Snap-on recognized this opportunity and working with field service techs created a standard solution employing a 14 mm, flex-head, ratcheting combination wrench, customized 14-mm hex bit, along with a tested and certified safety coil for lanyard attachment.

This complete solution  eliminates homemade tooling, providing an ergonomic, safe product made using accepted tool manufacturing practices.
