Spanners & Spanner Sets FAQs

Q: What are spanners used for?

A: Spanners are used in the gripping, tightening, or loosening of bolts and other types of fasteners. Spanners can also be used to apply torque when turning other objects or components.

Q: What’s the difference between a spanner and a wrench?

A: Whilst wrenches typically have an adjustable claw or jaw, spanners are more likely to be fixed, coming in a range of different sizes to accommodate different screw or bolt types.

Q: How do you safely use a spanner?

A: It’s important to maintain a firm grip when using a spanner. This can be done by ensuring your spanner is free from grease and in good working condition. Using the right size spanner for bolt or fastener types is also imperative, as spanner heads that are too large or too small may result in slippage. Using protective gear like gloves and eyewear is also recommended when working with spanners and other tools that apply torque.

Q: Why do spanners come in sets?

A: As spanners are generally fixed tools (with the exception of adjustable head spanners), you’ll often require different types of spanners across particular applications. This is why WB Tools supplies spanners in expertly designed spanner sets, allowing you to maintain a range of spanners with ease of access and strong organisation.

Q: How do I care for my spanners and spanner sets?

A: Clean your spanners regularly with soapy water or other gentle household cleaners to remove grease and dirt. This ensures that your spanners stay in good working condition and are also safe to use, reducing risks of slippage. You should also store your spanners securely in your toolbox when not in use.
