Product Information

Full details

The Facom 17mm Combination Spanner (41.17) is a professional-grade hand tool designed for automotive and mechanical technicians who require reliable precision during repetitive tightening tasks. Featuring a cranked ring head and a specialized OGV profile, it offers excellent clearance and torque application without damaging fasteners; however, its specific 17mm sizing means it is dedicated to one fastener size and requires a full set for comprehensive workshop coverage.

FAQs

What does the OGV profile do?

The OGV profile is a proprietary design that places force on the flats of the nut rather than the corners, significantly reducing the risk of rounding the fastener.

Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty industrial work?

Yes, Facom tools are designed for professional environments and meet high standards for durability and fatigue resistance.

Can I use the open end for high-torque loosening?

While the open end is designed for access, it is always recommended to use the ring head for breaking loose stuck or high-torque fasteners to ensure maximum grip.

Why is the open end angled at 15 degrees?

The 15-degree angle allows you to flip the spanner over and re-engage the fastener, effectively doubling the turning angle in cramped spaces.

How do I identify other sizes in this range?

Facom 41-series spanners are clearly marked with their size on the shaft, and this range includes various metric sizes from 6mm to 29mm.

Troubleshooting

The tool feels slippery when handling

Clean the satin finish with a degreasing agent and wipe dry to restore the original grip.

Spanner does not fit the fastener

Verify the fastener is exactly 17mm; debris or rust buildup on the nut may prevent the tool from seating correctly, so clean the nut head with a wire brush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents nut rounding through OGV technology
  • Excellent reach in awkward spaces due to cranked head
  • Professional-grade chrome-plated durability
  • Precise 15-degree angle on open end for better leverage

Cons

  • Fixed size limits versatility
  • Requires professional storage to maintain finish
  • Cranked design may not fit in extremely flush mounting situations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This spanner does not require setup. It is compatible with all standard metric 17mm hex fasteners. To maintain the life of the tool:

  1. Wipe clean with a lint-free cloth after use to remove grease, oil, and moisture.
  2. Store in a dry, ventilated tool chest or on a wall rack to prevent surface oxidation.
  3. Avoid using the tool as a striking implement (hammer) or using a cheater bar to extend leverage, as this can fatigue the alloy steel and cause structural failure.
