Description
Sixteen millimeters is the ISO 4032 hex for M10, one of the busiest bolt sizes in any plant. The Snap-on IZ16OE9X12 torque insert brings a 16 mm open jaw to compact 9 x 12 mm IZO/ISO wrenches. Oddly, it is also the only 16 mm part in the whole IZO table.
Why the IZ16OE9X12 stands alone at 16 mm
Snap-on skips 16 mm in its insert rings for both fittings. The 14 x 18 open ends also jump from 15 mm straight to 17 mm. So if you want a closed ring or a heavy body at 16 mm, the IZO range has no answer. Instead, the IZ16OE9X12 on a 9 x 12 receiver is the one route.
| Size | 9 x 12 OE | 9 x 12 ring | 14 x 18 OE | 14 x 18 ring |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 mm | IZ16OE9X12 | None | None | None |
| 17 mm | IZ17OE9X12 | IZ17IR9X12 | IZ17OE14X18 | IZ17IR14X18 |
ISO or DIN M10?
DIN 934 gives M10 nuts a 17 mm hex, while ISO 4032 uses 16 mm. A single machine can carry both, for instance a frame built to one standard with add-ons built to the other. Therefore, measure the flats before you pick the IZ16OE9X12 or a 17 mm insert. A loose jaw rounds corners fast, even at modest torque.
ControlTech range for the Snap-on IZ16OE9X12 torque insert
Three ControlTech bodies take 9 x 12 inserts in CAT1500i. The CTECHAN135A reads 6.8 to 135.0 N·m, and its 20% point sits at 27 N·m. Meanwhile, the CTECHAN30A and CTECHANM30 stop at 30 N·m. So match the body to your M10 value, and choose the CTECHAN135A for heavier specs. In addition, select the stored head-length factor each time you fit the insert.
Where a 16 mm open jaw earns its keep
- Lock nuts on M10 adjusting screws, where a second nut blocks a ring.
- Hose or tube fittings with 16 mm flats on compact machines.
- Bracket nuts close to a wall, where only a side approach works.
In each case, the IZ16OE9X12 slides on from the side and keeps the reading on a calibrated body. However, do not use it to crack a seized nut, since Snap-on warns against that.

IZ16OE9X12 sizing questions
Can I get the 16 mm size as a closed ring?
No. Snap-on lists no 16 mm ring for either fitting, so the OE head is the only choice.
Does the IZ16OE9X12 suit DIN M10 bolts?
No. DIN M10 nuts and bolts use a 17 mm hex, so pick a 17 mm insert instead.
