Product Information

Full details

The Expert By Facom 18 x 19mm double-ended offset ring spanner is an essential tool for professional mechanics and automotive technicians who require reliable torque and precision in restricted spaces. Its primary benefit is the 70-degree offset design, which protects knuckles while allowing clear access to recessed fasteners, though its fixed-size nature means it is not a replacement for an adjustable wrench or a full socket set.

FAQs

Does this spanner fit 19mm bolts?

Yes, one end of the spanner is specifically sized for 19mm fasteners.

Can I use this for heavy industrial leverage?

While it is made of high-quality steel, it is designed for manual torque application. Do not use extensions or 'cheater bars' as this can damage the tool.

What does the OGV profile mean?

The OGV profile is a specialized shape that applies force to the flat sides of a bolt rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding the fastener.

Is the finish prone to chipping?

The high chrome finish is durable, but avoid using it on concrete or rough surfaces where impact might cause the plating to flake.

What is the total length of this spanner?

The spanner measures 265mm in length.

Are these tools suitable for daily workshop use?

Yes, Expert By Facom tools are engineered to meet international ISO and DIN standards for professional-grade performance.

Troubleshooting

Spanner slips on a damaged nut

Ensure the ring is pushed completely flush against the fastener face and that the 12-point profile is aligned with all corners.

Surface rust appears after exposure to moisture

Use a light abrasive pad or steel wool to remove surface oxidation and wipe down with a light machine oil for protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 70-degree offset provides excellent knuckle clearance
  • OGV profile prevents rounding of fastener heads
  • High chrome finish resists rust and corrosion
  • Durable steel forging stands up to professional use
  • Meets multiple international DIN and ISO standards

Cons

  • Fixed sizing limits versatility compared to adjustable tools
  • Length may be insufficient for high-leverage heavy industrial tasks
  • Not intended for use with cheater bars or extensions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tool requires no setup; it is ready to use immediately. Compatibility is limited to 18mm and 19mm hex fasteners. To maintain the life of the tool: clean the spanner with a degreaser after each use to keep the chrome finish in good condition. Store in a dry environment or a tool roll to prevent surface scratches. Avoid using this spanner as a hammer or prying tool, as this can deform the ring ends and compromise its grip on fasteners.
