Spanners are essential tools of the trade in manufacturing operations. There’s maintenance of machinery, repairs when equipment breaks down, and work on assembly lines.

Working at tight angles or in hard-to-reach places can be awkward and frustrating if spanners are uncomfortable to grip or have limited manoeuvrability. Spanners need enough torque to tighten or loosen nuts, bolts and plastic fasteners, without risking injury. Very tight or damaged fasteners can be hard to budge, yet incorrect removal can cause rounded bolts.

Work slows down then halts as broken items must be replaced. And being on the tools all day puts considerable strain on hands and wrists. Tough conditions call for well-designed, high-quality spanners that work with the body, so tasks can be carried out safely and efficiently.

How Sidchrome spanners help overcome these challenges

Sidchrome’s 440 Pro Series of spanners caters for professionals who need high-performing, hard-wearing tools for day-in, day-out use. They are available in a 14-piece Ring & Open End Spanner Set, which comes in a handy, heavy-duty wallet. The set includes sizes from 6mm through to 19mm, so workers have the right tools for a wide range of tasks.

The benefits include:

  • Ergonomic design: The distinctive scalloped shaft creates a tool that’s comfortable to grip. The natural thumb rest allows greater torque for quick, efficient fastener removal. A new ring design has one ring parallel to the shank for better location on a smaller section of the fastener. The scallops make the spanner lighter and stronger, so it’s easier to use for longer, with less stress on the hands and wrists.
  • TORQUEPLUS™ fastening system: This allows for greater torque to make tightening and loosening stubborn or damaged fasteners easier and reduces the risk of rounding or damaging fasteners. The system enables workers to quickly tighten or loosen fasteners, so workflow continues with less interruption.
  • ANTISLIP™ fastening system: A locking groove on the open end of the spanner helps to prevent nut and bolt slippage, helping reduce damage to fasteners and prevent knuckle injuries.
  • Chrome vanadium construction: Every spanner in the set is made of premium quality alloys, for a lighter yet stronger and more durable product.

Why it matters?

Sidchrome marketing manager Jack Johnston says Sidchrome, founded in Australia in 1942, has a reputation for high-quality, professional products, such as the 440 Pro Series. He says the series takes the traditional spanner and kicks it up a level.

“It’s about building on traditional technology and making it easier for the end user to go about their work in a less painful way,” he says. “Our 440 Pro Series works with you, not against you, so day-in and day-out our customers are getting the tough jobs done while being protected from hand and wrist strain.”
