Product details
Wiesemann 1893 telescopic wheel nut wrench set – 4 pcs (17/19 & 21/23 mm)
This set is perfect for anyone who wants to change a tyre quickly and without faff. It’s a straightforward, well-made telescopic wheel nut wrench with two 2‑in‑1 sockets and a tidy storage bag. The concept is simple — more leverage when you need it, compact when you don’t. Great for roadside jobs, weekend maintenance or keeping in the boot as a dependable backup.
Key features
- Extendable handle – measures about 39 cm when closed and extends to 53 cm, giving plenty more leverage so you don’t have to muscle on as much.
- Six-position locking – the handle locks securely in six positions using a retractable, self-locking ring to eliminate wobble when you’re cracking a stubborn nut.
- 2‑in‑1 sockets – two combination sockets cover 17/19 mm and 21/23 mm, so the most common passenger car wheel nuts are handled without lugging around a pile of separate sockets.
- 1/2 in drive compatibility – fits all 1/2 in (12.5 mm) drive sockets, so it plays nicely with other hand tools in your kit.
- Storage bag included – keeps everything together in the boot and stops the sockets rattling about.
Practical use and benefits
When a wheel nut’s on tight or the weather’s grim, reach for the telescopic wrench instead of straining on a short bar. The longer handle cuts the effort and speeds the job up — a real boon on cold mornings or in light drizzle. It’s purely hand-powered, so no batteries, no chargers and none of the usual faff.
This isn’t a replacement for an impact wrench in a busy workshop, but it’s aimed squarely at drivers, DIY enthusiasts and tradespeople who want a reliable, portable tool for occasional to regular wheel changes. It’s built to feel solid rather than feather-light, so you get a reassuring, positive feel when turning stubborn nuts.
Typical scenarios where it helps
- Changing a flat tyre at the roadside without needing a breaker bar.
- Seasonal wheel changes where different nut sizes crop up between vehicles.
- Keeping in a van or car boot for emergencies and routine wheel maintenance.
Technical details and what to check
Manufacturer: WIESEMANN 1893 (part no. 80249). Contents: 1 extendable telescopic wheel nut wrench, 1 socket 17/19 mm, 1 socket 21/23 mm, 1 storage bag. Material: robust metal construction for durability. Drive size: 1/2 in (12.5 mm). Length: approximately 39 cm closed and 53 cm extended. Item weight: around 1.34 kg.
One note — the sockets cover the most common wheel nut sizes for passenger cars, but some vehicles use oddball sizes, so it’s worth checking your wheel nuts before you set off. Also, this is a hand tool not a power breaker: for seized studs or heavy workshop tasks you’ll need proper powered kit.
All told, it’s a practical, no-nonsense set that does the job when it matters. Keeps things simple, reduces the elbow grease required to loosen nuts, and the bag reduces the chance of losing the bits — solid German engineering made accessible for everyday use.
