Product Information

Full details

The Facom 34.13 Midget Spanner is an essential tool for professional mechanics and engineers working in constrained environments where standard wrenches cannot reach. This 13mm metric offset spanner provides exceptional maneuverability with its dual-angle head design, offering durability through a high-quality chrome finish; however, due to its short 120mm length, it is not suitable for high-torque applications that require significant leverage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for high-torque applications?

No. The midget design is intended for precision and access, not for high-torque tasks. Using excessive force may damage the tool or the fastener.

What is the primary difference between the 15-degree and 75-degree ends?

The 15-degree end is standard for general access, while the 75-degree end allows you to reach "around" obstructions that would block a standard 15-degree opening.

Is this wrench suitable for automotive use?

Yes, it is highly recommended for working in tight engine bays or under dashboards where standard tools are too long.

Does the chrome finish peel off?

Facom tools are known for industrial quality, but heavy impacts or scraping against concrete can eventually damage the finish.

Are there other sizes available in this range?

Yes, Facom produces a wide range of midget spanners in both metric and imperial sizes, such as 6mm, 7mm, 15mm, and various inch sizes.

Troubleshooting

Spanner feels loose on the bolt head

Verify that the fastener is exactly 13mm and that you are not using a fractional equivalent. Ensure the jaws are pushed fully onto the flats of the bolt.

Surface rust appearing on the tool

Clean the surface with a light machine oil and a non-abrasive cloth. Keep the tool in a low-humidity environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent access in confined spaces due to compact 120mm length
  • Dual-angle heads provide versatile clearance options
  • High-quality chrome finish resists corrosion and facilitates easy cleaning
  • Sturdy construction ideal for professional engineering environments

Cons

  • Short handle length limits leverage for loosening overtightened bolts
  • Open-ended design carries a higher risk of fastener rounding if not seated correctly
  • Limited to a specific 13mm metric size

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no complex setup required for this tool; it is ready to use out of the box. The spanner is compatible with standard 13mm metric hexagonal nuts and bolts. To maintain the life of the tool, wipe the spanner with a clean, dry cloth after every use to remove oils and debris. Store the tool in a dry tool chest or hanging rack to prevent surface scratches on the chrome plating. Avoid using cheater bars or pipe extensions on the 120mm handle, as this can damage the tool or the fastener.
