Facom Slim Metric Combination Spanner - 5.5mm

OGV® stands for 'Outil Généraliste de Vissage' (Generalist Screwing Tool). It refers to Facom's patented 12-point profile that provides superior contact with the nut or bolt head, allowing for more torque transmission and reducing the risk of damage to both the tool and the fastener.

The 15° offset on the ring end is designed to provide clearance for your fingers, preventing pinching and allowing for a more comfortable and secure grip, especially when working in tight or awkward positions.

The slim design allows the spanner to access fasteners in very confined spaces where standard spanners might not fit, making it ideal for intricate mechanical work.

Yes, Facom tools are designed for professional use, offering durability, precision, and performance required for demanding applications.

The matt chrome finish provides excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, helping to maintain the tool's appearance and functionality over time, even in demanding work environments.

While effective, the 5.5mm size is quite specific. It's best suited for tasks requiring this exact metric size. For general home repairs, a set of common metric or imperial spanners might be more versatile.

Ensure the spanner is the correct size (5.5mm) and fully seated on the fastener. Check if the fastener head is damaged or rounded. Clean both the spanner and fastener of any grease or debris.

Utilize the 15° offset handle and slim profile to maneuver the spanner into position. If still inaccessible, consider alternative tools like a socket with an extension or a universal joint if space allows for the tool's bulk.

Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth and a mild degreaser. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to the surface. Store in a dry place.
