Product Information

Full details

The Priory Steel Erector's Adjustable Podger Spanner (SOADJB12) is designed for construction and engineering professionals who require a versatile tool for tightening and aligning bolts and nuts on site. Its primary benefit is the adjustable jaw that spans a wide range of sizes up to 35mm, combined with a long handle for leverage and hole alignment. A potential caveat is that it is a manual tool and requires manual adjustment for each size, which may be slower than dedicated socket sets for repetitive tasks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum size bolt head or nut this spanner can accommodate?

The spanner can accommodate fasteners up to 35mm in size.

What is the primary use for the long handle?

The long handle provides increased leverage for tightening fasteners and can be used for aligning bolt holes during assembly.

What material is the spanner made from?

It is manufactured from quality steel with a hard-wearing black finish.

How do I adjust the spanner to a different size?

Turn the knurled collar to open or close the adjustable jaw to the desired size, then tighten the collar to secure it.

Is this spanner suitable for high-torque applications?

While it offers good leverage due to its length, it is a manual tool and may not be suitable for extremely high-torque applications where powered tools would be used.

How should I maintain the spanner?

Clean it after use, lubricate the adjustment mechanism periodically, and store it in a dry environment.

Troubleshooting

Adjusting collar is stiff or difficult to turn.

Clean any debris from the adjustment screw and knurled collar. Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or light machine oil) to the threads and work the collar back and forth until smooth.

Jaw does not hold position securely.

Ensure the knurled collar is fully tightened against the jaw. Check the adjustment screw and collar threads for damage or wear. If threads are stripped, the spanner may need replacement.

Spanner slips on fasteners.

Verify that the jaws are fully engaged with the fastener and that the collar is tightened securely. Ensure the fastener head/nut is not damaged or rounded. Clean the jaws if they are greasy.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adjustable to a wide range of fastener sizes (up to 35mm).
  • Durable construction ensures longevity in demanding environments.
  • Long handle provides excellent leverage and aids in aligning holes.
  • Versatile tool for various mechanical and construction tasks.
  • Compact and portable for on-site use.

Cons

  • Requires manual adjustment for each size, potentially slower than dedicated tools.
  • May not provide the same torque as impact wrenches or powered tools.
  • The black finish can potentially wear over time with heavy use.
  • Limited to sizes within its 35mm capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This spanner requires no initial setup. To adjust the jaw size, turn the knurled collar. Slide the adjustable jaw to match the size of the bolt head or nut, then tighten the collar to secure the jaw in place.

Compatibility: The spanner is compatible with hexagonal and square fasteners within its adjustable range of 0-35mm. It is designed for use with standard bolts and nuts.

Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

  1. Clean the spanner after each use with a dry cloth to remove dirt and grease.
  2. Periodically apply a light lubricant to the adjustment mechanism (knurled collar and screw) to maintain smooth operation.
  3. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.
  4. Avoid using excessive force that could damage the adjustment mechanism or the fastener.
