OKODOKO Scaffold Podger Ratchet Spanner - 17 x 19mm

This spanner is primarily designed for scaffolding assembly and dismantling, and general construction or repair tasks that use 17mm and 19mm hexagon bolts.

No, it is specifically designed for hexagon bolts of 17mm and 19mm sizes. It may not fit other sizes or shapes of fasteners.

Use the convenient thumb switch located on the body of the spanner. Push it in one direction for tightening and the opposite for loosening.

It is made from heat-treated chrome vanadium steel with a phosphate coating for durability and corrosion resistance.

The tapered end is designed to help align bolt holes when connecting two pieces of material, making it easier to insert the bolt before tightening.

Keep it clean and dry. Periodically lubricate the ratcheting mechanism and direction switch with a light oil to ensure smooth operation.

The ratcheting mechanism allows you to turn the bolt continuously without having to remove and reposition the spanner after each turn, significantly speeding up the fastening process.

Clean the mechanism with a degreaser and apply a light lubricant. Ensure no debris is lodged within the gears.

Apply a small amount of penetrating oil to the switch mechanism and work it back and forth gently until it moves freely.

Ensure you are using the correct socket size (17mm or 19mm) and that the bolt head is not stripped or worn. The spanner is designed for a snug fit.

Ensure the bolt is properly started in its thread and that the mating parts of the structure are aligned. The tapered end assists, but does not force, alignment.
