Facom Spanners & Wrenches Features and Benefits

• Specialist designs: Flare nut spanners, crows foot wrenches, hook wrenches and oil filter wrenches reach fasteners that standard spanners cannot, helping you avoid rounded nuts and damaged fittings.
• Ratchet and socket options: Ratchet spanners and socket spanners speed up repetitive work in tight spaces, saving time on long jobs.
• Heavy-duty gripping tools: Stilson wrenches, chain wrenches and pipe wrenches give a firm hold on pipes and round stock.
• Controlled tightening: Torque wrenches and multipliers help you meet specified tightening values, which is important for wheels, engine components and structural fixings.
• Sets for convenience: Spanner sets keep commonly used sizes together, so the right size is always to hand in the toolbox or on the van.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between a ring spanner and an open ended spanner?

Ring spanners surround the fastener, giving a more secure grip and reducing the risk of slipping, so they are best for tight or stubborn nuts and bolts. Open ended spanners slide on from the side, which suits fasteners on pipes or where there is limited access from above. Combination spanners offer both in one tool.

When should I use a torque wrench?

Use a torque wrench whenever a manufacturer specifies a tightening value, such as on wheel nuts, cylinder heads or critical machinery fixings. It prevents under-tightening, which can cause loosening, and over-tightening, which can damage threads or components. For higher values, a torque multiplier reduces the effort needed.
