Klein Tools 68005 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Klein Tools 68005 can wrench cover?
The Klein 68005 is a double-ended can wrench with a 3/8-inch hex socket on one end and a 7/16-inch hex socket on the other, both SAE. The two ends are color coded so you can grab the right size without looking: the 7/16-inch socket is black, the 3/8-inch socket is silver.
2) Will a can wrench socket reach down over a long binding post?
Yes. Both sockets on the 68005 are 1-1/4 inches deep, so they seat over long binding-post studs instead of bottoming out on the thread, and the walls are thin so you can get into crowded terminal blocks and enclosures.
3) Is the Klein 68005 can wrench insulated for live work?
No. The 68005 is not insulated and will not protect against electrical shock, so it is not a substitute for a 1000V insulated tool on energized work. De-energize first, and wear approved eye protection.
4) Can I put a wrench on a Klein can wrench for more torque on a seized nut?
Yes, that is what the hex-shaped socket body is for on the 68005: you can slip an open-end or adjustable wrench over it for extra torque. What you should not do is hammer it, push on it, or slip a pipe over the handle to extend it.
5) How big is the Klein 68005 can wrench, and will it fit in a tool pouch?
It is a pouch-sized tool: 7 inches overall length, a 1-inch diameter handle, and 0.35 lbs. Because it carries both 3/8-inch and 7/16-inch sockets in one body, it replaces two separate wrenches in the pouch.
6) What is a can wrench actually used for on a telecom or electrical job?
One end opens telephone box and pedestal fasteners; the other end runs the nuts on binding-post terminals. It is the standard pouch tool for anyone working cross-connect boxes, terminal cans, and screw-post connections, which is why it is stocked as an electrical hand tool rather than a general socket wrench.
7) Are the sockets on the Klein 68005 strong enough for daily field use?
The sockets are heat-treated alloy steel, and the handle is a high-impact, break-resistant plastic body. It is made in the USA. Keep the torque on the wrench flats rather than beating on it and the thin-wall sockets hold up.
8) What part number do I order for the Klein two-size can wrench?
Order Klein Tools 68005. That single part number gets you the dual-ended can wrench with both the 3/8-inch and 7/16-inch hex sockets; there are no size or finish options to specify.
