Laser Stubby Spanner - 13mm

The main advantage is its compact size, allowing it to access and work with fasteners in very tight or confined spaces where standard spanners cannot fit.

Bi-Hex means the socket has 12 points (double the points of a standard 6-point socket). This allows for engagement with the fastener at a smaller turning angle (30 degrees instead of 60 degrees), which is beneficial in restricted areas.

It is manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, known for its strength and durability.

While durable, the short handle limits leverage. It is best suited for moderate torque applications or for reaching fasteners. For breaking loose very tight bolts, a longer spanner or breaker bar is recommended.

Yes, the Laser Stubby Combination Spanner range is available in metric sizes from 10mm to 17mm.

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and store in a dry place. Avoid harsh chemicals and keep it from prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent rust.

Ensure you are using the correct size (13mm) and that the fastener head is clean. Check for excessive wear on the fastener or the spanner jaws/socket. The 12-point socket requires proper engagement to prevent slipping.

This stubby spanner is designed for access, not maximum torque. For very tight or rusted fasteners, use a full-size spanner or a breaker bar for initial loosening, then switch to the stubby spanner for fine adjustments in confined spaces.

Wipe the spanner thoroughly dry after use and store it in a dry location. If minor surface rust appears, it can often be removed with a fine steel wool or a rust remover, followed by re-oiling.
