FAQs
What size bolts does this spanner fit?
This spanner is specifically designed for 7/16" Whitworth hex nuts and bolts.
What is the main advantage of the rivetless fixing?
The rivetless fixing eliminates a common point of failure, making the spanner more durable and longer-lasting under heavy use.
Can I use this spanner for metric bolts?
No, this spanner is sized for imperial Whitworth threads (7/16"). It is not designed for metric sizes.
How long is the spanner?
The spanner is 9 inches (approximately 228mm) long.
What is the material of the socket?
The socket is made from strong alloy steel for durability and resistance to wear.
Can I attach a safety lanyard to this spanner?

How should I clean and store the spanner?
Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and store in a dry place to prevent rust. The lanyard hole allows for easy hanging storage.
Troubleshooting
Spanner slips on the bolt head.
Ensure you are using the correct size spanner (7/16" Whitworth) and that the bolt head is not damaged or rounded. Apply firm, consistent pressure.
Difficulty turning a stubborn nut.
Apply penetrating oil to the threads and allow it to soak in. Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the nut. Use steady, controlled force, leveraging the 9-inch length.
Spanner feels loose or wobbly.
Inspect the connection between the socket and the handle. Due to the rivetless design, this is unlikely but if suspected, cease use and inspect for damage.
