FAQs

What material is the spanner made from?

The spanner is expertly crafted from durable, drop-forged Chrome Vanadium Steel, known for its exceptional strength and longevity.

What is the main advantage of the extra-long shaft?

The extra-long shaft (333mm) provides significantly enhanced leverage, making it easier to loosen or tighten stubborn fasteners.

Is this spanner suitable for very confined spaces?

While versatile, the extra length might make it less ideal for extremely tight spaces where a standard or shorter spanner would be more practical.

How do I maintain the polished finish?

Wipe the spanner clean with a dry cloth after use and store it in a dry location. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the mirror finish.

What is the weight of the spanner?

The spanner has a lightweight design, weighing just 0.23kg for comfortable handling.

What does WallDrive ring mean?

WallDrive is a design that grips the fastener on a larger surface area, reducing the risk of rounding the corners of nuts and bolts and providing better torque transfer.

What is the warranty on this product?

The product comes with a lifetime guarantee for peace of mind.

Troubleshooting

Spanner slips on fastener

Ensure the correct size (18mm) is used and that the fastener head is clean and free from damage. Check that the spanner's jaw is not worn.

Difficulty turning a stubborn bolt

Utilize the extra length of the spanner for increased leverage. Ensure you are applying steady, even pressure. If necessary, consider using a penetrating oil on the fastener.

Visible rust spots on the surface

Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth. For minor spots, a mild metal polish can be used. Ensure the spanner is dried thoroughly after cleaning and stored in a dry place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The 18mm size is compatible with standard 18mm nuts and bolts. Always ensure the spanner size matches the fastener to prevent damage.

Care: To maintain its performance and appearance:

  1. Clean: After each use, wipe the spanner with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt, grease, and debris.
  2. Store: Store in a dry environment, preferably in a tool chest or on a rack, to prevent scratches and corrosion.
