Product Information

Full details

The Facom 34 series 12mm midget spanner is designed for professional mechanics and technicians who require precision tooling for work in extremely confined spaces. Its primary benefit is the combination of a short shank and dual-angle head profiles that provide access where standard wrenches fail, though its specialized size means it is not suitable for high-torque applications requiring long leverage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the total length of the 34.12 spanner?

The spanner measures 120mm in total length.

Can I use this for high-torque applications?

No, this is a miniature spanner designed for precision work; using it for high-torque tasks may result in injury or tool damage.

What angles are available on the head?

The spanner features heads at both 15-degree and 75-degree angles.

Is this tool suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the satin chrome finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for professional workshop and field maintenance.

Does this wrench fit 1/2 inch bolts?

No, this is specifically sized for 12mm metric fasteners. Using it on imperial fasteners may cause slipping.

Troubleshooting

Wrench slips on the bolt head

Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the fastener faces and check that the bolt has not been previously rounded by improper tools.

Difficulty reaching the bolt despite the offset head

Check if the fastener is obstructed by debris or a cable; utilize the alternative head angle (15 or 75 degrees) to change the approach vector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional access in restricted spaces
  • Dual-angle head options for versatile positioning
  • High-quality satin chrome finish resists corrosion
  • Compact 120mm length for easy storage

Cons

  • Not intended for high-torque or seized fasteners
  • Limited leverage due to short shank length
  • Specific to 12mm fasteners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This spanner is compatible with standard 12mm hex fasteners. To maintain the integrity of the tool:

  1. Use on Correct Sizes: Ensure the 12mm sizing is exact to prevent slipping and potential damage to the fastener head.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the tool with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove grease and debris. The satin chrome finish can be kept in peak condition by occasionally applying a light machine oil.
  3. Storage: Keep in a tool roll or a shadow board tray to avoid impact damage to the precision-ground jaws.
