Product Information

Full details

The Expert By Facom Double Ended Offset Ring Spanner (24 x 27mm) is a heavy-duty hand tool designed for professional mechanics and engineers who require precision and torque in restricted environments. Its key benefit is the 70-degree offset head design, which provides superior clearance when working with recessed fasteners or in confined engine bays. A minor caveat is that the 330mm length may be slightly long for extremely cramped spaces, requiring users to consider their workspace clearance before purchase.

FAQs

What does the 70-degree offset achieve?

The offset provides clearance for fingers and the tool handle, allowing you to turn nuts located in deep, recessed, or obstructed areas.

Does the OGV profile prevent rounding nuts?

Yes, by applying force to the sides of the nut rather than the corners, the OGV profile effectively reduces stress and prevents rounding.

Is this tool suitable for high-torque applications?

Yes, it is forged from Chrome Vanadium steel specifically designed to handle the high torque required for professional mechanical tasks.

What is the total length of the spanner?

The total length of this 24 x 27mm spanner is 330mm.

Does it meet professional standards?

Yes, it meets multiple international standards including ISO 691, ISO 1711-1, ISO 3318, ISO 10104, and DIN 838.

Can I use it on both 24mm and 27mm bolts?

Yes, it is a double-ended tool designed to fit both sizes, with one size at each end.

Troubleshooting

Spanner feels loose on the bolt head

Ensure the fastener is not rounded or damaged; if the bolt head is stripped, the OGV profile may not grip correctly.

Difficulty reaching the fastener

Check if the 330mm length is causing an obstruction; consider repositioning the spanner to use the opposite end if possible.

Tool surface shows signs of corrosion

Clean the area with a light solvent, dry thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of machine oil to protect the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-torque capacity suitable for professional use
  • Excellent clearance provided by the 70-degree offset
  • OGV profile protects fastener heads from rounding
  • Durable Chrome Vanadium forging for long service life
  • Easy-to-clean polished finish

Cons

  • Length of 330mm may be cumbersome in very tight spaces
  • Fixed ring ends are limited to two specific fastener sizes
  • Heavier than standard flat spanners due to robust construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No specialized setup is required; ensure the spanner is fully seated on the fastener before applying force. This tool is compatible with any standard 24mm or 27mm hexagonal or square bolt. To maintain the tool's integrity, wipe away oil, grease, and metal shavings after use with a clean rag. While the chrome finish is corrosion-resistant, storing the tool in a dry, low-humidity environment like a professional toolbox will prevent potential oxidation over years of service.
