Product Information

Full details

The AB Tools 5Pc Metric Extra Long Double Ring Spanner Set is designed for professional mechanics and automotive enthusiasts who need to reach fasteners in confined or awkward spaces. These aviation-style wrenches offer superior leverage and reach due to their extended shafts, providing a significant advantage when working on engines or deep-seated bolts; however, users should be aware that the length may make them cumbersome to use in extremely tight, box-in environments where swinging a long handle is restricted.

FAQs

What is the longest spanner in the set?

The 16mm x 18mm and the 17mm x 19mm spanners are the longest in the set, both measuring 400mm in length.

Can these be used for heavy-duty industrial work?

Yes, they are manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel, which is designed for commercial and heavy-duty use.

Is the finish prone to chipping?

The drop-forged construction and satin chrome finish are highly durable, but avoid striking them with hammers to preserve the finish.

Are these double-open ended or ring spanners?

These are specifically double ring spanners, featuring a 12-sided closed ring head on both ends.

Does the set include a storage case?

Yes, the set comes with a custom plastic molded tray for organized storage.

Troubleshooting

Spanner slipping on the bolt head

Verify that you are using the correct metric size and that the ring is seated fully onto the nut.

Surface rust appearing on the shaft

Clean the affected area with a light abrasive pad and apply a light machine oil or rust inhibitor to the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent leverage thanks to the extra-long shaft design
  • High-strength chrome molybdenum steel ensures long-term durability
  • 12-sided rings provide secure grip on nuts and bolts
  • Versatile offset heads for better access in tight spots
  • Corrosion-resistant satin chrome finish

Cons

  • The long length may be difficult to use in very cramped quarters
  • Limited to metric sizing (8mm-19mm)
  • Requires more physical storage space than standard spanners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These spanners are ready for immediate use. To maintain the integrity of the tools, ensure the following:

  1. Storage: Always return tools to the provided plastic tray to prevent misplacement and to protect the polished surface.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the tools with a clean, oily cloth after use to maintain the satin chrome finish and prevent moisture buildup.
  3. Application: Only use on the appropriately sized metric nuts and bolts. Using these on imperial fasteners may result in slipping and rounding of bolt heads.
  4. Handling: Avoid using a cheater bar or excessive extension pipes on the handles, as the extra length already provides sufficient torque for most manual applications.
