Draper Expert Ratchet Combination Spanner Set - Black, 12 pc
The Draper Expert HI-TORQ metric ratchet combination spanners in this 12-piece set are manufacture...The Draper Expert HI-TORQ metric ratchet combination spanners in this 12-piece set are manufactured from hardened and tempered chrome vanadium steel, with black electroplating for corrosion protection. The 100-tooth ratchet mechanism enables 3.6° movement and the open end is set at 15°, making these spanners ideal for use where there’s limited space. The ring end is 12-point HI-TORQ, providing a superior grip; with Draper HI-TORQ, the spanners grip the flats of the fastener rather than the corners. This gives more grip while transmitting more torque to the nut or bolt and prevents damage to the corners by spreading the load across the flats. The set comes supplied in a useful storage/carry rack.
This guide is for anyone using the Draper Expert 12-piece ratchet combination spanner set. The set's key benefit is its ability to work in tight spaces, thanks to the 100-tooth ratchet mechanism. However, the HI-TORQ design, while beneficial, might require users to adjust their grip compared to standard spanners. This guide will help you understand the features, uses, and care of your Draper Expert spanner set.
