FAQs
What material is this spanner made from?
The Magnusson 14mm combination spanner is constructed from fully drop-forged chrome vanadium steel for superior strength and durability.
What is the advantage of the 15° angled open end?
The 15° angle on the open end provides improved access and leverage in tighter spaces, allowing you to work around obstructions more easily.
How do I clean the spanner?
After use, wipe the spanner clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. The polished finish makes it easy to remove dirt and grease.
Is this spanner suitable for heavy-duty applications?
While made from durable chrome vanadium steel, this spanner is best suited for general maintenance and repair tasks. For extremely heavy-duty industrial applications, specialized tools might be more appropriate.
What type of fasteners does this spanner work with?
This spanner is designed for standard 14mm nuts and bolts.
Can I use this spanner on rounded bolts?
The box-end offers a more secure grip and is generally better for slightly rounded fasteners than the open-end. However, for severely rounded fasteners, specialized extraction tools may be required.
Troubleshooting
Spanner slips on nut/bolt.
Ensure you are using the correct size spanner (14mm for 14mm fasteners). Check that the fastener head is not stripped or damaged. Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the fastener.
Difficulty accessing fastener in tight space.
Utilize the 15° angled open end for improved access. If space is extremely limited, consider a specialized wrench or socket set. Ensure no obstructions are present.
Rust spots appear on the spanner.
Clean the affected area with a wire brush or fine-grit sandpaper. Wipe clean and apply a light coat of oil to prevent future rust. Store in a dry place.
