FAQs
Does this set include a 24mm spanner?
Yes, the set includes sizes 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 24mm.
Are these spanners ratcheting?
No, these are standard combination spanners with a fixed open-end and a fixed 12-point ring end.
What is the material used?
They are manufactured from drop-forged chrome vanadium steel for maximum durability.
Can I use these for heavy-duty industrial work?
Yes, their drop-forged construction makes them suitable for rigorous mechanical applications.
What is the benefit of the WallDrive ring?
The WallDrive ring grips the flats of the bolt rather than the corners, which helps prevent rounding off the nut or bolt head.
Troubleshooting
Spanner feels loose on a bolt head
Verify that you are using the correct metric size and not an imperial equivalent; ensure the ring end is pressed fully onto the fastener.
Visible surface rust starting to appear
Clean the affected area with fine steel wool and apply a light coating of corrosion-inhibiting oil to protect the finish.
Fastener is rounded and the spanner slips
Use a dedicated bolt extractor or vice grips; the spanner's WallDrive profile is designed to grip intact or slightly worn heads, not heavily damaged ones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Sealey S01052 set remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
Organization: Mount the provided storage rack on a tool wall or keep it in a shallow drawer for immediate access to the correct size.
Cleaning: Wipe each spanner with a clean rag soaked in a light machine oil after use to maintain the nickel chrome finish and prevent surface oxidation.
Application: Always ensure the spanner is fully seated on the fastener head before applying force to prevent slippage or injury.
Storage: Do not store these tools in high-moisture areas unless they are treated with a light protective lubricant. Use the rack to prevent metal-on-metal contact, which can eventually dull the finish.
