Product Information
Full details
The Facom 101.15GR Adjustable Spanner is designed for professional mechanics and industrial technicians who require a high-torque, versatile tool for varied fastener sizes. Its primary strength lies in its innovative reversible jaw mechanism, which allows for effortless switching between standard tightening and gripping rounded fasteners, though users should note that its robust 15-inch size may be bulky for extremely tight automotive engine bays.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for this tool; simply ensure the adjustment screw moves freely before your first use. To maintain the spanner, keep the adjustment screw threads clean of debris and apply a light machine oil periodically to ensure smooth sliding action. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion. If using the tether attachment, ensure your safety lanyard is rated for the 500g weight of the tool.
