Product Information

Full details

The Gedore 6065960 is a precision-engineered double open ended spanner designed for professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who require reliable fastening performance for 13 mm and 17 mm nuts and bolts. Crafted from high-quality vanadium steel, this tool offers exceptional durability and a slim profile that excels in tight, confined workspaces. While it provides superior strength and a secure grip, users should note that as an open-ended tool, it is best suited for quick adjustments rather than high-torque applications where a closed ring might be preferred.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the total length of this spanner?

The total length of the Gedore 6065960 is 205 mm.

What material is this tool made of?

It is forged from Gedore 31CrV3 vanadium steel.

Is this tool suitable for high-torque applications?

It is designed for standard fastening. For extreme torque, a ring spanner or socket set is recommended to prevent the open jaws from slipping.

Does it meet industry standards?

Yes, it is manufactured in accordance with DIN 3110, ISO 3318, ISO 1085, and ISO 10102.

How heavy is the tool?

The tool weighs 122 grams.

Can I use this for plumbing fittings?

While it fits 13 mm and 17 mm metric nuts, be careful using metal spanners on plated plumbing fixtures as they can scratch the surface.

Troubleshooting

The spanner slips on the fastener.

Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the flat sides of the bolt head. If the bolt is rounded, use a different tool specifically designed for damaged fasteners.

Surface rust appearing on the shaft.

Use a light machine oil and a fine-grit non-abrasive pad to gently remove surface oxidation, then wipe clean and store in a dry location.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This spanner does not require any specific setup; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. It adheres to international standards (DIN 3110, ISO 3318, ISO 1085, ISO 10102), making it compatible with all standard metric hardware within its 13 mm and 17 mm range.

To ensure the longevity of your Gedore tool:

  • Clean After Use: Wipe the tool with a dry cloth to remove metal shavings, grease, or moisture.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: While chrome-plated, avoid soaking the tool in aggressive acid-based cleaners which could compromise the finish.
  • Proper Storage: Store in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent surface oxidation over long periods of inactivity.
