Product Information

Full details

The Gedore Double Ended Midget Spanner is designed for technicians and hobbyists working in extremely confined environments where standard wrenches cannot fit. Its primary benefit is the combination of a 4.5 mm size with varied jaw offsets, allowing for superior fastener engagement in tight electronics or delicate mechanical assemblies. Please note that due to its ultra-compact 69 mm length, it is intended for fine-torque applications and should not be used with high-force leverage extensions.

FAQs

What material is this spanner made from?

It is constructed from 31CrV3 vanadium steel.

What is the total length of the tool?

The spanner has a total length of 69 mm.

Can I use this for automotive work?

While it can be used for very small automotive electronics or trim fasteners, it is not designed for heavy-duty automotive bolts.

Why are there two different jaw angles?

The 15 and 75-degree angles allow you to gain access to fasteners in different orientations by simply flipping or rotating the tool.

How do I prevent the chrome from scratching?

While the chrome is durable, avoid using it on hardened steel fasteners that might cause surface marring.

Troubleshooting

Spanner slips on fastener

Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the fastener head and check if the fastener size is exactly 4.5 mm.

Tool feels stuck in a tight gap

Gently rotate the spanner to align the jaw head thickness with the clearance path; do not force it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely compact size for restricted workspaces
  • Durable vanadium steel construction
  • Dual-angle jaw design adds versatility
  • Corrosion-resistant chrome finish

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-torque applications
  • Limited only to 4.5 mm fasteners
  • Small size can be easily misplaced

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gedore spanner, it requires minimal but regular care. Because the tool is precision-forged, avoid using it as a lever or a pry bar, as the slim profile is not designed for lateral stress beyond standard tightening.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Keep the tool clean by wiping it with an oily cloth after use to prevent moisture buildup.
  • Store in a designated small-tool tray or pouch to prevent the 69 mm spanner from getting lost in a larger tool chest.
  • Use only on 4.5 mm fasteners to prevent jaw damage or slippage.
