Britool E110101B 34mm Combination Spanner

Product Information

Spanners are one of the most common hand tools found in any tool bag, box, or kit and are used for fastening and loosening nuts or bolt heads with a hexagonal shape. Spanner tools are also commonly called wrenches, particularly in American English. They are typically made from hardened chrome vanadium steel or beryllium copper. The most common types can consist of a ring-style spanner on one end and an open jaw spanner on the other (a combination spanner), or two open jaw ends (an open-ended spanner). Ring Head: The most frequently used type of ratchet head. They are especially useful as they apply force to all sides of the fastener, offering additional grip to avoid coming off the nut or bolt whilst the tool is in use. Spanners are available in a variety of metric (mm) and imperial (in) sizes to allow for greater functionality across a wider range of applications, though adjustable spanners (or shifting spanners) are often a preferred choice because users can increase or decrease the size with ease. Our range includes products from leading brands such as Bahco, Facom, Ega-Master, Stanley, Wera & RS PRO, and are available as individual pieces or as part of a larger spanner set.
