Description
A 32 mm hex is large, yet many such nuts need only moderate torque. Think of fitting bodies, adjuster locknuts and gland nuts. The Snap-on QYXM32A box end head gives those nuts a 12-point ring on a Y-shank body. So you can torque them in tight spots without a long, heavy wrench.
Size and fit
- Opening: 32 mm, 12-point.
- Shank: Y (0.560 in).
- Outside diameter: 46 mm.
- Head depth: 19 mm.
- Pin to fastener center: 3.00 in, as on other QYXM heads.
A big ring on a Y body
Y bodies on SMK Vietnam reach 200 ft-lb, on the QC3P200 preset. That covers many large fittings, but high-strength bolts of this size often need more. So use the Snap-on QYXM32A box end head where the joint spec sits inside the Y range. Snap-on documents also disagree on the head rating, so confirm the limit with Lost in HCM.
Moving up to X or Z shank
Snap-on’s UK brochure also lists 32 mm rings as the QXXM32A (X shank) and the QZXM32A (Z shank). On SMK Vietnam, X bodies include the QD3IN350A dual-scale body, 59-251 ft-lb, and the CTECH3X250A ControlTech wrench. For heavier specs, the CTECH4Z600A takes Z heads up to 600 ft-lb. X heads sit 4.50 in from the pin and Z heads 5.75 in, so the body and head must match. In short, pick the shank by torque first, then by access. Step up from the QYXM32A only when the spec demands it.
Check clearance for the Snap-on QYXM32A box end head
The ring measures 46 mm across and 19 mm deep. As a result, it needs a clear circle around the nut and some room above it. Measure the gap to the next bolt or wall before you order. Also check the nut across its flats, since a 32 mm ring will slip on a smaller hex.
Where it fits in a plant
The QYXM32A earns its place on jobs like these.
- Large hydraulic fitting bodies on presses and power units.
- Adjuster and lock nuts on conveyor and roll frames.
- Gland and cover nuts on pumps and valves.

Answers on the QYXM32A
Will a 46 mm ring fit between close bolts?
Only if the gap allows it. Measure the space around each nut before you order.
Which shank should I pick for a 32 mm nut?
Match the shank to the joint torque. Y suits moderate values, while X and Z bodies handle higher specs.
Why is the head rating missing?
Snap-on sources show different limits for this head, so we leave it out. Lost in HCM will confirm it.
