FAQs
What is the maximum jaw opening of this spanner?
The maximum jaw capacity is 44mm.
Does this tool meet industry standards?
Yes, it is manufactured to meet ISO 6787 and DIN 3117 standards.
What material is this spanner made from?
It is constructed from hardened chrome-vanadium steel.
Can I use this for high-torque applications?
Yes, the 375mm length is designed to provide sufficient leverage for high-torque fastening tasks.
How do I maintain the tool's finish?
Keep it dry and clean after use; the chrome finish is durable, but avoiding acidic chemicals will help maintain its appearance.
Why is the head tilted at 15 degrees?
The angle allows you to flip the tool to engage the nut at a different angle, which is essential for working in confined spaces with limited handle movement.
Troubleshooting
Adjustment knob feels stiff or gritty
Clean the worm gear mechanism with a degreaser and apply a small amount of light machine oil to the threads.
Jaws loosen during heavy torque applications
Ensure that the jaw is fully seated on the fastener and the adjustment knob is tightened securely before applying force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Expert By Facom spanner, always ensure the jaws are fully engaged on the fastener to prevent slipping and potential damage to the bolt corners. Before storing, wipe the tool down with a clean, dry cloth to remove oil and metal shavings. While the polished chrome faces are corrosion-resistant, applying a thin film of machine oil to the adjustment worm gear periodically will keep the operation smooth. The tool is compatible with all standard metric and imperial hexagonal fasteners within its 44mm jaw capacity.
