Description
- Spanners come in all shapes and sizes, many being developed to deal with a specific job. By far the most important consideration when using a spanner is to ensure that it fits the nut perfectly. Too loose, and it will round the comers of the nut - and slip, often damaging the nut. Spanner and your hand.
- When purchasing spanners, select good quality tools. The best types are forged from carbon steel or chrome vanadium, if not abused, these will last a lifetime. The obvious advantage of an adjustable spanner is that it will cope with a whole range of nut sizes, within the capacity of the jaws.
- When in use, it is important to adjust the jaws so that the spanner is a good fit on the nut. Use the spanner so the main strain is taken by the solid section of the head rather then the adjustable part.
- In Adjustable Spanners, a worm screw is located close to the opening jaw, which has a rack engaged with the screw, making the spanner very easy to adjust with the finger and thumb of the holding hand.
