Product Information

Full details

The Facom Offset Open End Midget Spanner is designed for professional mechanics and maintenance technicians who require precision in extremely tight or recessed spaces. Its primary benefit is the unique dual-angle head configuration that provides superior access where standard wrenches fail, though its compact size means it is not intended for high-torque applications involving heavily seized fasteners.

FAQs

Is this tool suitable for metric bolts?

No, this is specifically engineered for 9/16 inch imperial fasteners.

Can I use an extension bar on this spanner?

No, the midget design is not intended to be used with cheater bars or extensions as it could cause the tool to bend or snap.

What is the benefit of the 75-degree angle?

The 75-degree angle allows you to clear obstacles that would otherwise block the path of a standard 15-degree spanner.

How do I maintain the satin chrome finish?

Regularly wipe it with a microfiber cloth and keep it free from acidic workshop chemicals.

Is this tool heat-treated?

Yes, as a professional Facom tool, it is heat-treated to ensure durability for industrial applications.

Troubleshooting

Spanner feels loose on the nut

Verify that the fastener is indeed a 9/16 inch size and not a metric equivalent that may appear similar.

Difficulty generating enough turning force

Ensure you are using the correct end angle to maximize your hand leverage, or switch to a tool with a longer handle for breaking initial tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent access for recessed or restricted fasteners
  • High-quality satin chrome finish resists corrosion
  • Extremely lightweight and portable
  • Versatile dual-angle head design

Cons

  • Not designed for high-torque requirements
  • Limited leverage due to short handle length
  • Specific to 9/16 imperial sizing only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tool is designed for 9/16" imperial fasteners. Ensure the fastener is clean before application to prevent slippage.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove grease and debris.
  • Storage: Store in a dedicated tool tray or organizer to prevent the chrome finish from scratching against heavier steel tools.
  • Inspection: Periodically check the open ends for any signs of spreading or metal fatigue if used frequently near the limit of its capacity.
