FAQs

What does 'Long Whitworth' refer to?

'Long' refers to the longer handle (pattern) of the spanner, providing increased reach. 'Whitworth' specifies the thread standard the spanner is designed to fit (British Standard Whitworth).

Is this spanner suitable for metric bolts?

No, this spanner is specifically for 3/16" Whitworth fasteners and is not compatible with metric sizes.

What is the primary advantage of the bi-hexagon ring?

The bi-hexagon (12-point) ring provides more contact points with the fastener head compared to a standard 6-point socket, reducing the risk of rounding the fastener, especially when used at an angle.

How durable is the chrome vanadium steel?

Chrome vanadium steel is known for its high strength, hardness, and resistance to wear, making it a standard for professional-grade tools designed for demanding use.

Can I use this spanner on a rusted fastener?

While the spanner is durable, using it on heavily rusted or damaged fasteners increases the risk of the spanner slipping or damaging the fastener further. It's best used on fasteners in good condition.

Where is this spanner manufactured?

This Elora spanner is manufactured to DIN 3113 Form B / ISO 3318 specifications.

What are the overall dimensions and weight?

The dimensions are approximately 16.20cm x 2.30cm x 1.00cm, and it weighs about 0.04kg.

Troubleshooting

Spanner slips on fastener

Ensure you are using the correct size and type (Whitworth) of spanner for the fastener. Verify the fastener head is not damaged or rounded. Apply steady, even pressure.

Difficulty accessing fastener

Utilize the 15° offset jaw and the long pattern design to gain better leverage and reach. If the fastener is still inaccessible, consider if a different tool or access method is required.

Visible rust or corrosion

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a light rust remover if necessary. Dry thoroughly and consider applying a light coat of oil for protection. Store in a dry place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tool requires no setup. It is ready for immediate use upon removal from packaging.

Compatibility: This spanner is specifically designed for 3/16" Whitworth fasteners. It is not compatible with standard metric or UNC/UNF imperial fasteners.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the spanner clean with a dry cloth to remove grease, dirt, and debris.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry environment. Avoid humid conditions which can accelerate corrosion, despite the chrome plating.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the jaws and ring for any signs of wear or damage. If excessive wear is observed, discontinue use to prevent fastener damage.
