Product Information

Full details

This extra long, double-ended ring spanner set from Laser Tools is designed for automotive professionals and serious DIYers needing superior leverage and access in tight engine bays. Its key benefit is the extended reach and low-profile bi-hex face drive, allowing for secure engagement on fasteners in confined spaces. A potential caveat is the limited size range, focusing on common metric sizes.

FAQs

What are the exact sizes included in this set?

The set includes six metric sizes: 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 17mm, and 19mm.

Is this set suitable for high-torque applications?

The extra length provides increased leverage, making it suitable for many automotive torque applications. However, for extremely high-torque situations, professional air or hydraulic tools might be necessary.

What is the advantage of the 'Face Drive' design?

Face Drive engages the fastener on its flat sides rather than the corners, providing a more secure grip, reducing the likelihood of rounding the fastener head, and allowing for use on slightly worn fasteners.

Can these spanners be used with impact wrenches?

No, these ring spanners are designed for manual use only and should not be used with impact wrenches, as this can cause damage to the tool and the fastener, and pose a safety risk.

What material are the spanners made from?

The spanners are crafted from robust chrome vanadium steel, known for its strength and durability.

How should I clean and maintain the spanners?

Wipe them clean with a cloth after use and store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Spanner slips on fastener

Ensure the correct size spanner is selected and is fully seated. Check that the fastener head is not damaged or rounded. Clean both the spanner and fastener of any oil or debris.

Difficulty reaching a fastener

Utilize the extra length of the spanner for increased leverage and reach. If access remains impossible, consider specialized tools or an alternative approach.

Spanner shows signs of wear or damage

Discontinue use of the damaged spanner to prevent further damage to fasteners or potential injury. Contact the retailer or manufacturer for a replacement if within warranty.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced leverage due to extra length.
  • Secure grip and reduced fastener rounding with bi-hex face drive.
  • Durable construction from chrome vanadium steel.
  • Ideal for accessing fasteners in restricted areas.
  • Covers essential metric sizes for many automotive tasks.

Cons

  • Limited size range (8mm-19mm), may require additional spanners for larger bolts.
  • Not ideal for fasteners requiring extreme torque beyond manual capacity.
  • Double-ended design means carrying fewer individual spanners but requires careful size selection.
  • Polished finish can be slippery if hands or spanners are oily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required. Select the appropriate spanner size for the fastener. Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the bolt or nut head before applying force.

Compatibility: This set is designed for standard metric fasteners (bolts and nuts) ranging from 8mm to 19mm. It is compatible with most automotive and mechanical applications requiring these sizes.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Clean the spanners after each use with a clean cloth to remove dirt and grease.
  2. Store the spanners in a dry environment to prevent rust or corrosion.
  3. Avoid exposing the spanners to excessive impact or corrosive chemicals.
  4. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage.
