What wrenches are you using? |
I ordered a 23 mm wrench Hitachi Part Number 956922 through a local tools dealer. It is the same wrench used on the Hitachi TR12 router which preceded the Hitachi M12V router. Except for the 21 and 23 stamped in the wrench, it looks identical to the 21 mm wrench that ships with the M12V. I used clear plastic tubing on the handle of the 21 mm wrench, and black PVC tubing on the 23 mm wrench (so that the colors match the collett parts). I got the PVC tubing from a scrap piece of 7-wire cable that I used for my trailer hitch wiring. I set the wrench and the PVC out on a black surface in the hot sun to soften it before installing the PVC onto the wrench handle. For reference, the part number for the 21 mm wrench is 956923. It works fine for me, but I read somewhere that you can file off some parts and remove the collett locking plate. This will give you more clearance, but you run the risk of getting filings inside the router.
