Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the BGS Slogging Ring Spanner made of?

The spanner is made of high-quality chrome vanadium steel, hot forged for maximum strength and durability.

What standards does this spanner comply with?

It is manufactured to DIN 7444 standards, ensuring it meets recognized industry quality and performance requirements.

What is the purpose of the 'slogging' feature?

The 'slogging' designation means the wrench is designed to be struck with a hammer or mallet on the end to apply extra force or shock, useful for breaking loose stubborn fasteners.

How do I clean and maintain this spanner?

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and store in a dry place. Avoid corrosive environments.

What is the weight of the 55 mm spanner?

The spanner weighs approximately 1.89 kg.

What is the benefit of the 12-point profile?

The 12-point profile provides a more secure grip on fasteners compared to a 6-point profile, offering better torque transfer and reducing the risk of slippage and damage.

Can this spanner be used for general-purpose tightening?

While it can be used for tightening, its heavy-duty nature and slogging design make it most effective for high-torque applications like loosening or initial high-torque tightening.

Troubleshooting

Spanner does not fit the fastener.

Ensure you are using the correct size spanner (55 mm) for the fastener. Check for debris in the spanner's profile or on the fastener.

Difficulty applying sufficient torque.

Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the fastener. Use a rubber mallet or hammer to strike the end of the spanner for increased force, as intended for slogging wrenches. Ensure you are using proper body mechanics for leverage.

Visible wear or damage on the spanner's profile.

Discontinue use immediately to prevent fastener damage and potential injury. Inspect for any damage to the steel. Consider replacement if significant wear is present.
