Product Information

Full details

The Draper Tools 07211 S-Type Obstruction Ring Spanner Set is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who frequently work in tight, hard-to-reach areas. Its primary benefit is the 'S' shape which allows for rotation in confined spaces where standard spanners cannot maneuver, offering a significant advantage in efficiency. A minor caveat is that the specialized shape may not be ideal for general-purpose, open-access bolting tasks. This 5-piece set provides essential metric sizes (10x11, 12x13, 14x15, 16x17, and 18x19mm) for common automotive and machinery applications. Key features include forged chrome vanadium steel construction for durability, a satin chrome finish for corrosion resistance, and a convenient wallet for storage and transport.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the Draper Tools 07211 spanner set made from?

The spanners are forged from chrome vanadium steel, which is hardened, tempered, and satin chrome plated for durability and corrosion resistance.

What does 'S-Type Obstruction' mean?

It refers to the 'S' shape of the spanner, designed specifically to allow users to work around obstructions and in confined spaces where a standard straight spanner would not fit.

How many spanners are included in this set?

The set includes 5 pieces, with metric sizes: 10x11mm, 12x13mm, 14x15mm, 16x17mm, and 18x19mm.

Is this set suitable for high-torque applications?

While made from durable chrome vanadium steel, the 'S' shape is optimized for access in tight spaces. For extremely high-torque applications, especially where leverage is not an issue, a standard straight spanner or a socket wrench might be more appropriate.

How should I clean and maintain the spanners?

Clean the spanners with a damp cloth after use, dry them thoroughly, and store them in the provided wallet in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.

What is the finish on these spanners?

They have a satin chrome plated finish, which provides corrosion protection and a non-glare surface.

Are these spanners useful for plumbing tasks?

Yes, they can be useful for specific plumbing fittings that use metric sizes and are located in tight areas, provided the fitting is not excessively corroded or requires extreme torque.

Troubleshooting

Spanner slips on fastener

Ensure you are using the correct size spanner that snugly fits the bolt head or nut. Check that the fastener head is not rounded or damaged. Clean both the spanner and fastener for better grip.

Difficulty accessing fastener

Utilize the 'S' shape of the spanner to find an angle that allows for rotation. Reposition the spanner frequently, engaging and disengaging as needed in the confined space.

Tool shows signs of rust

Clean the affected area with a mild abrasive pad or steel wool and apply a light coat of oil for protection. Ensure tools are stored in a dry place.

Spanner feels weak or bends under torque

This indicates potential overuse or excessive force. Ensure you are using the correct size and that the fastener is not seized beyond the tool's capacity. For extremely seized or high-torque applications, consider impact sockets or specialized tools.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for working in confined engine bays or tight machinery spaces.
  • Durable construction from hardened and tempered chrome vanadium steel.
  • Corrosion-resistant satin chrome finish ensures a long tool life.
  • The 'S' shape allows for easier fastener manipulation in awkward positions.
  • Includes a set of commonly used metric sizes.

Cons

  • The specialized 'S' shape may be less efficient for standard, open-access tasks.
  • Not ideal for tasks requiring extreme torque where a straight spanner might offer better leverage.
  • The wallet, while convenient, may offer limited protection against heavy impacts.
  • Specific sizes might not cover all niche applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This spanner set requires no setup. Simply remove the tools from their wallet and select the appropriate size for your task.

Compatibility:

The Draper Tools 07211 set is designed for use with standard metric (mm) fasteners. Ensure the spanner size precisely matches the bolt head or nut for optimal grip and to prevent damage.

Care:

To maintain the longevity and performance of your spanner set:

  1. Clean after use: Wipe down each spanner with a clean, dry cloth, especially after exposure to grease, oil, or dirt.
  2. Store properly: Keep the spanners in the supplied wallet to protect them from scratches and corrosion. Store the wallet in a dry environment.
  3. Avoid excessive force: While durable, extreme force applied incorrectly can damage fasteners or the tool. Use the appropriate size and leverage.
  4. Inspect regularly: Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage. If a spanner appears compromised, discontinue use.
