Product Information

Full details

The Facom 40B.29 Slim Metric Combination Spanner is a professional-grade hand tool engineered for automotive technicians and industrial mechanics who require high torque and precision in restricted spaces. Its key benefit lies in the 12-point OGV profile, which maximizes surface contact with fasteners to prevent rounding, though users should note that the slim profile is specifically optimized for clearance rather than extreme heavy-duty leverage applications.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this wrench suitable for heavy-duty industrial work?

Yes, it is professional grade, but due to its slim profile, it should not be subjected to excessive force or used with extension bars.

What is the OGV profile?

OGV stands for Optimized Geometry V (or OGV profile), which ensures the force is applied to the sides of the nut rather than the corners.

Can I use this on 28mm or 30mm bolts?

No, using this wrench on non-matching fastener sizes will lead to rounding of the bolt corners and potential injury to the user.

Does the 15-degree offset affect the torque?

No, the offset is designed for ergonomic clearance and does not reduce the structural integrity or torque capability of the wrench.

Is the finish matte or polished?

The spanner features a matt chrome finish, which is non-reflective and highly resistant to corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Wrench is slipping on a fastener

Ensure the fastener is exactly 29mm and not a larger imperial size; verify the wrench is seated fully on the head of the bolt.

Surface rust appearing on the body

Clean the surface with a fine abrasive pad and re-coat with a light machine oil; store in a humidity-controlled environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior fastener grip through OGV profile
  • Excellent access in confined areas due to slim profile
  • High corrosion resistance from matt chrome finish
  • Ergonomic handle design reduces fatigue

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme leverage compared to thick-gauge industrial wrenches
  • Specific to 29mm metric fasteners only
  • Higher price point reflecting professional grade quality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a manual hand tool, no setup is required. The 40B.29 is compatible with all standard 29mm metric hexagonal and 12-point fasteners. To ensure longevity, keep the spanner free of debris and moisture. Wipe clean with a lint-free cloth after each use. Store in a dry, organized toolbox or tool roll to prevent surface scratches that could compromise the corrosion-resistant chrome plating. Avoid using cheater bars or extensions on the handle, as the slim design is not intended for the extreme force these accessories provide.
