How should I clean and maintain the spanner?

After use, wipe it clean with a dry cloth and store it in a dry place to prevent rust and maintain its condition.

What if the spanner doesn't fit a specific radiator valve?

Ensure the valve fitting is within the supported sizes (1/2", 3/8", 3/4", 1-1/4"). If it's a non-standard size or damaged, the spanner may not fit.

Troubleshooting

Spanner does not fit the fitting securely.

Verify that the fitting size is one of the supported sizes (1/2", 3/8", 3/4", 1-1/4"). Ensure the fitting is not damaged or non-standard. Clean any debris from the fitting and the spanner.

Difficulty turning a stubborn valve.

Ensure you are using a quality 1/2" drive ratchet with sufficient leverage. Apply steady, controlled pressure. Do not overtighten. If the valve is seized, consider using a penetrating lubricant and allowing it to soak before attempting again.

Spanner shows signs of wear or damage.

Inspect the tool regularly. If significant wear, cracks, or bending are observed, discontinue use to prevent tool failure and potential injury. Replace the tool if compromised.
