FAQs
What does 'AF' stand for?
AF stands for 'Across Flats', which refers to the measurement across the flats of the nut or bolt head.
What is the OGV® profile?
The OGV® profile is a 12-point ring design that maximizes contact with the nut, which helps to reduce the risk of rounding off the fastener and extends the life of the spanner.
Can I use this spanner on metric fasteners?
No, this spanner is designed for imperial sizes only. Using it on metric fasteners will likely damage the fastener and/or the spanner.
What materials is the spanner made from?
The Expert By Facom Combination Spanner is forged from chrome vanadium steel, providing strength and durability.
How should I store this spanner?
Store the spanner in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion. A tool chest or a rack is recommended.
What is the benefit of the angled open end?
The angled open end allows for better access to fasteners in tight spaces, where a straight spanner might not fit.
What are the dimensions of this spanner?
The size is 1 1/16" AF, and the length is 310 mm. It weighs 386g.
Troubleshooting
Spanner slipping on the fastener.
Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the nut or bolt. Check for any damage to the spanner or fastener and replace if necessary. Apply force evenly.
Difficulty accessing the fastener.
Use the angled open end or the ring end to gain access in confined spaces. Consider using a different type of wrench if access remains difficult.
