FAQs
What is the OGV profile?
The OGV profile is a proprietary geometry designed by Facom to apply pressure to the flats of a bolt rather than the corners, increasing torque and reducing the risk of rounding the fastener.
Can this be used for metric bolts?
No, this is a dedicated 11/16-inch imperial tool and should not be used on metric fasteners to avoid damage to both the tool and the bolt.
How do I clean the spanner?
Wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth after use. If it becomes greasy, a degreaser followed by a wipe-down with a light machine oil will keep the chrome in top condition.
Is the 15-degree angle on both ends?
Yes, both the open-ended and the ring-ended sides feature a 15-degree offset to aid in clearance.
Does it meet aerospace standards?
The ring end is specifically engineered to exceed Aerospace SAE AS 954E standards, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Troubleshooting
Tool slips on the bolt head
Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the fastener. If using the ring end, verify the fastener is correctly aligned with the OGV profile.
Difficulty reaching a bolt in a tight space
Flip the spanner to use the 15-degree offset on the opposite side to change the angle of the handle relative to the obstruction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no setup; it is ready to use immediately on any 11/16-inch hex fastener. Compatibility is universal for fasteners matching this imperial size specification. To maintain the life of your Facom spanner, keep it free of excessive debris and store it in a dry tool chest to preserve the chrome finish. While the chrome is corrosion-resistant, wiping the tool down with an oily rag after exposure to harsh chemicals or moisture will ensure the finish remains smooth and easy to handle for years.
