Product Information
Full details
The Expert By Facom 8 x 9mm Double Ended Offset Ring Spanner is an essential precision tool designed for automotive technicians, engineers, and DIY enthusiasts who require reliable access to recessed fasteners in confined engine bays or machinery. Its primary benefit is the 70-degree offset head, which provides excellent knuckle clearance and improved reach, though users should note that as a dedicated fixed-size tool, it lacks the versatility of adjustable wrenches.

FAQs
What does the 12-point OGV profile mean?
The OGV profile is a specialized design that drives the fastener on the flats rather than the corners, reducing stress and preventing damage to the bolt.
Can this spanner be used for heavy-duty industrial work?
It is designed for standard 8mm and 9mm fasteners; while it is robust, it should not be used on bolts significantly larger than its rated size.
Does this tool come with a warranty?
Expert By Facom tools are manufactured to high industrial standards; please check with your local distributor for specific warranty terms based on your region.
What is the total length of this spanner?
The tool measures 182mm in total length.
Is the finish resistant to chemicals?
Yes, the high chrome coating is durable and resistant to most automotive fluids and shop chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Spanner feels slippery during use
Degrease the tool using a solvent-based cleaner and ensure hands are free of excess oil.
Tool is stuck on a fastener
Ensure the spanner is perfectly parallel to the nut face; pull gently and straight back to avoid wedging.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent access in tight spaces due to 70-degree offset
- OGV profile prevents fastener rounding
- High-quality chrome vanadium construction
- Lightweight and compact design
Cons
- Limited to two specific fastener sizes (8mm and 9mm)
- Not suitable for fasteners located in completely flush areas
- Fixed design requires more clearance for rotation than a ratcheting spanner
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This spanner does not require complex setup; simply ensure the size matches your fastener before application. To maintain the integrity of the chrome finish and prevent surface rust, wipe the tool with a clean, oil-dampened cloth after every use. Store the spanner in a dry tool chest or hanging rack to avoid contact with abrasive metals that could scratch the chrome coating. Avoid using cheater bars or pipe extensions for additional leverage, as this can lead to tool deformation.
