FAQs
What is the maximum size fastener this spanner can accommodate?
The Facom 101.12 spanner has a maximum jaw capacity of 41mm.
Is this spanner suitable for imperial (SAE) fasteners?
While the spanner is adjustable, it is designed and calibrated for metric fasteners, adhering to metric standards. For best results and accuracy, it is recommended for metric sizes.
How do I use the Quick Adjust system?
To adjust the jaw, typically you will use the button mechanism integrated into the handle. Pressing or activating this mechanism usually releases the jaw, allowing it to be quickly slid to the desired opening size.
What are the dimensions of the spanner?
The spanner has a length of 300mm.
What standards does this spanner meet?
It meets NF ISO 6787, ISO 6787, DIN 3117, and ASME B107.100 standards.
How much does the spanner weigh?
The spanner weighs 795 grams.
Can I use this spanner for high-torque applications?
The metal construction provides durability and leverage. For very high-torque applications, ensure the fastener and surrounding materials can withstand the force, and always use appropriate safety measures.
Troubleshooting
Adjustment mechanism feels stiff or slow.
Clean the adjustment screw and mechanism with a cloth and apply a small amount of light machine oil. Work the mechanism back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
Jaws do not grip the fastener securely.
Ensure the fastener is within the spanner's jaw capacity (41mm max). Check the jaws for wear or damage. If worn, the spanner may need replacement.
Spanner is difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.
This is often due to the spanner's 300mm length and robust construction. For extremely confined areas, consider a smaller adjustable spanner or a specialized tool. The slim jaw profile helps, but leverage limitations may still exist.
Rust or corrosion on the metal handle.
Clean the affected area with a wire brush or fine-grit sandpaper. Wipe clean and apply a thin coat of protective oil to prevent further corrosion. Store in a dry place.
