Product Information

Full details

This 5-piece Laser Tools Ratchet Ring Spanner Set (MPN 1750) is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need to access fasteners in confined spaces. Its double-ended, cranked design offers superior leverage and access, making tasks like car maintenance more efficient. The primary caveat is that it is a metric-only set, limiting its use for imperial fasteners.

FAQs

What sizes are included in the 5-piece set?

The set covers metric sizes from 6mm to 22mm. Specific sizes typically include 6mm/8mm, 10mm/12mm, 13mm/14mm, 15mm/17mm, and 19mm/22mm, though this can vary slightly by manufacturer packaging.

Can these spanners be used for imperial fasteners?

No, this set is exclusively designed for metric fasteners. Using them on imperial sizes can damage both the tool and the fastener.

How do I clean and maintain the spanners?

Wipe them clean with a cloth after use. For best results, store them in a dry place. Periodically clean the ratchet mechanism with a degreaser and lubricate it lightly.

What is the advantage of a cranked ring spanner?

The cranked (offset) ring head provides greater clearance and leverage, allowing you to access and turn fasteners in tight or awkward spaces where a straight spanner would not fit or be difficult to operate.

Are these suitable for heavy-duty industrial use?

While durable, they are primarily designed for automotive maintenance and general mechanical tasks. For extreme torque applications, dedicated heavy-duty wrenches or impact sockets are recommended.

Does the ratchet mechanism have a specific direction?

Yes, most ratchet mechanisms can be switched between clockwise (tightening) and counter-clockwise (loosening) rotation, often via a small lever or by flipping the spanner end. Ensure it is set to the correct direction for your task.

Troubleshooting

Ratchet mechanism is stiff or not engaging.

Clean the ratchet mechanism with a degreaser and a small brush to remove debris. Apply a light-duty penetrating oil to lubricate. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the gears.

Spanner slips on the fastener.

Ensure the correct size spanner is being used and that it is fully seated onto the fastener head. Check the fastener head for damage or rounding, which may require a different tool or fastener replacement.

Spanner head feels loose.

Inspect the spanner for any visible damage or signs of stress. If the head feels excessively loose or wobbly, cease use and consider replacing the tool to avoid stripping fasteners or causing injury.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent access in confined spaces due to the cranked head.
  • Ratchet mechanism speeds up work and reduces user fatigue.
  • Covers a wide range of common metric sizes.
  • Durable build for professional or frequent DIY use.
  • Versatile double-ended design.

Cons

  • Metric sizes only; not suitable for imperial fasteners.
  • The cranked design may add bulk in extremely tight spots where even a slight offset is too much.
  • Requires a minimum clearance for the crank action.
  • Not ideal for very high torque applications where a non-ratcheting impact socket might be preferred.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a hand tool set and requires no setup. Simply select the appropriate size spanner for the fastener. Ensure the spanner is fully engaged with the bolt head or nut before applying force.

Compatibility: The set is designed for metric fasteners ranging from 6mm to 22mm. It is compatible with standard hex-head bolts and nuts within these sizes.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down each spanner after use with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn grease or grime, use a mild degreaser and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly.
  2. Storage: Store the spanners in a dry environment, such as a toolbox or a dedicated tool roll, to prevent rust and damage.
  3. Inspection: Periodically check the spanners for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the ratchet mechanism. Replace any damaged tools.
  4. Lubrication: The ratchet mechanism may benefit from occasional light lubrication with a penetrating oil, applied sparingly.
