FAQs

What does 'Bi-Hex' mean?

Bi-Hex means the spanner has a twelve-point socket opening, as opposed to the traditional six-point opening. This provides more surface contact with the fastener, offering a better grip and reducing the risk of stripping.

What material is this spanner made from?

This spanner is manufactured from Chrome Vanadium steel, known for its strength, hardness, and resistance to corrosion.

Are other sizes available?

Yes, this spanner is part of a range that includes sizes from 6mm to 50mm.

What is the finish on the spanner?

The spanner has a satin finish, which provides a comfortable grip and helps resist fingerprints and smudges.

What are the delivery restrictions for this item?

Special delivery terms and conditions apply due to its size and weight. Delivery is available to most UK locations, the Channel Islands, Scottish Islands, and some limited international locations. Please review the specific delivery information before purchasing.

How do I maintain the spanner?

Keep the spanner clean and dry after use. Store it in a toolbox away from moisture to prevent rust. Inspect regularly for wear.

Can this spanner be used with 6-point fasteners?

Yes, the Bi-Hex design is compatible with standard 6-point fasteners. However, it provides a superior grip specifically designed for 12-point engagement.

Troubleshooting

Spanner slips on fastener

Ensure you are using the correct size spanner (18mm). Check that the fastener head is clean and dry. The Bi-Hex design should provide a secure grip; if slippage persists, the fastener head may be significantly damaged or worn.

Difficulty engaging spanner on fastener

Verify the fastener size. Ensure the sunken detail panel or the jaws of the spanner are not obstructed by dirt or damage. Try rotating the spanner to find the optimal engagement points.

Visible corrosion or rust

Clean the affected area with a fine-grade steel wool or wire brush. Apply a light coating of lubricating oil to protect the surface. Store in a dry location.
