Applications

Called a wrench in America and Canada, this hand tool is specifically designed for tightening and loosening fixings and fastenings that correspond with its specific metric size. The open end spanner end allows you to turn from either end of the fitting, while the ratchet spanner end allows you to grip a fastening entirely where space allows. As such, the tool is highly versatile and can be used in a number of professions, such as;

• Plumbing
• Auto mechanics
• Engineering
• Machine Operating

What is the difference between a Ratchet spanner and a Ring spanner?

Unlike a ring spanner, a ratchet allows the tool to apply torque in one direction only. This means that you can reset the position of your tool without actually releasing the fastening or fixing. This allows for more comfortable and faster turning. However, the ratchet ring is not as sturdy as the fixed ring spanner, and may not have as much torque power.
