Product Information
Full details
The Expert By Facom Ratcheting Podger Spanner (E110961) is a specialized hand tool engineered for professionals working in scaffolding and heavy-duty assembly environments. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-leverage podger tail and a dual-size 17 x 19mm ratcheting head, which significantly speeds up bolt adjustment in tight or elevated spaces. While it offers exceptional utility for scaffolders, users should note that its specific size configuration is fixed, requiring additional tools if the job involves hardware outside of the 17mm and 19mm specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no formal setup; it is ready for use immediately upon inspection. It is compatible with standard 17mm and 19mm hex bolts and nuts found in most scaffolding systems. To maintain the longevity of the tool, keep the ratchet mechanism clean and free of excessive debris or concrete dust. A light application of machine oil to the ratcheting gear once per quarter will ensure smooth operation. Store the tool in a dry environment or tool bag to prevent corrosion of the high-grade steel.
