This Draper Tools Open End Spanner, 9mm, is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working with electrical systems or in industrial environments. Its key benefit is offering protection from electric shocks up to 1500V DC and 1000V AC, ensuring user safety. A potential caveat is its specific 9mm size, requiring other sizes for different applications. Key features include VDE and EN 60900 approval, ergonomic design for comfort, and suitability for live working on modern hybrid and electric vehicles.

VDE and EN 60900 are European standards that certify electrical tools are safe for working on or near live electrical equipment. This includes specific requirements for insulation strength and testing.
Yes, you can use it for general mechanical work as a standard 9mm open-end spanner. However, its primary advantage is its insulation for electrical safety.
This spanner is safe for protection against electric shocks up to 1500V DC and 1000V AC.
It is recommended to inspect the insulation before each use, and periodically during extended use, especially if the tool is subjected to rough handling or potential impacts.
Yes, it is particularly useful for modern hybrid and electric vehicles which operate at high DC voltages (up to 1500V DC).
Using the tool above its rated voltage can compromise the insulation, leading to a severe risk of electric shock and potential tool failure.
Ensure you are using the correct size spanner. Check for any wear or damage on the spanner jaws or the fastener head. For very worn fasteners, a slightly different tool might be needed.
Immediately discontinue use for any electrical work. Inspect the damaged area closely. If the insulation is compromised, the tool is no longer safe for live working and should be replaced or designated for non-electrical tasks.
Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the fastener. The ergonomic design should aid grip, but ensure your hand is positioned comfortably. If the fastener is seized, additional leverage might be required, but be cautious not to exceed the tool's strength limits.
Setup: This is a hand tool and requires no setup beyond ensuring it is clean and free from damage before use.
Compatibility: The 9mm size is compatible with standard 9mm fasteners (nuts and bolts). Its primary compatibility is with electrical work, specifically meeting standards for work up to 1500V DC and 1000V AC. It is intended for use with fasteners that have sufficient clearance for an open-end wrench.
