Product Information

Full details

The Facom 5.5mm Offset Open End Midget Spanner is designed for professionals and hobbyists working in micromechanics, electronics, or tight automotive spaces where standard tools simply cannot fit. Its primary benefit is the unique dual-angle jaw design that allows for maximum maneuverability in cramped quarters, though its specialized size means it is limited to specific 5.5mm fasteners and may not provide enough leverage for high-torque industrial applications.

FAQs

Does this tool come in other sizes?

Yes, Facom produces a series of these offset midget spanners in various metric and imperial sizes, such as 6mm, 7mm, 1/4 inch, and 5/16 inch.

Can I use a pipe extension for more torque?

No, it is not recommended to use extensions on midget spanners as they are designed for precision, not high-torque applications, and may bend under excess pressure.

What is the material of the spanner?

The wrench is manufactured from high-quality steel with a durable satin chrome plating.

Is the 15-degree side better than the 75-degree side?

Neither is better; they offer different approaches. The 15-degree side is standard for general work, while the 75-degree side is specifically meant to reach deep into recessed areas.

Is this tool suitable for automotive work?

Yes, it is excellent for small automotive tasks like working on instrument clusters, small hose clamps, or electronic sensor brackets.

Troubleshooting

The wrench slips off the fastener.

Ensure the fastener is exactly 5.5mm and that the wrench is seated fully into the flats of the nut.

The finish is showing signs of surface oxidation.

Clean the tool with a light machine oil and a soft cloth to restore the satin chrome finish and protect against moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent access in confined spaces
  • High-quality, durable satin chrome finish
  • Dual-angle flexibility (15 and 75 degrees)
  • Lightweight and compact design

Cons

  • Limited to 5.5mm hardware only
  • Not suitable for high-torque heavy-duty fastening
  • Small size can be easily misplaced in a cluttered workshop

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No setup is required for this tool; it is ready to use immediately. Compatibility is strictly limited to 5.5mm fasteners; ensure you are not using it on slightly larger or smaller metric bolts to prevent slippage or damage to the tool jaws. To maintain the tool's integrity, wipe away oil, grease, or metallic shavings after use with a clean shop rag. Periodically inspect the jaws for signs of wear. Store in a dedicated organizer or tool roll to prevent the small 75mm body from getting lost within your main toolbox.
