The Facom 40B.21 21mm Slim Metric Combination Spanner is designed for mechanics and technicians working in tight spaces. Its primary benefit is improved access and torque transmission thanks to its slim profile and OGV® ring end. A potential caveat is its specialized design, which might not be the first choice for general-purpose, open-space tasks. Key features include a 12-point OGV® profile for superior grip, a 15° offset ring end for finger protection, a 15° offset flat handle for easier repositioning, and a corrosion-resistant matt chrome finish.

OGV® profile refers to Facom's patented ring design that provides more effective contact with the nut or bolt head, allowing for better torque transmission and reducing the risk of slippage and damage to the fastener.
The 15° offset on the ring end provides clearance for your knuckles when working near flat surfaces. The 15° offset on the handle allows you to reposition the wrench with a smaller swing arc in confined spaces.
While the OGV® profile offers good grip, heavily rusted bolts may still be challenging. The spanner is designed for effective torque transmission, but extreme conditions might require additional penetrating lubricants or impact tools.
This is a metric spanner and is designed for metric fasteners. Using it on imperial fasteners is not recommended as it can lead to a poor fit, potential damage to the fastener, and reduced effectiveness.
The matt chrome finish provides good corrosion resistance. Regular cleaning with a dry cloth and proper storage in a dry environment are sufficient for maintaining its condition.
The slim design allows the spanner to access fasteners in very tight or restricted areas where bulkier tools would not fit, making it ideal for complex mechanical assemblies.
Ensure the correct size spanner is used and that the fastener head is clean and free from damage. Verify the OGV® profile is making full contact with the fastener.
Utilize the 15° offset handle and ring end to gain better angles. The slim design is intended for tight spaces; ensure no other obstructions are present.
Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth and a light oil. Ensure the tool is thoroughly dried and stored in a dry place to prevent recurrence.
Check for wear on the OGV® profile or the fastener head. Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the fastener.
Setup: No specific setup is required. This is a hand tool designed for immediate use upon purchase.
Compatibility: The 21mm size is compatible with standard metric fasteners (nuts and bolts) of the same dimension. The OGV® profile is designed to work optimally with 6-point and 12-point fasteners.
