Frequently Asked Questions

What is a raised panel spanner?
A ring and open end spanner with a raised ridge down the shank, which stiffens it so a long, heavy spanner does not flex under load. That is why the big sizes from 33mm up are made this way. The ring end is 12 point and offset to clear your knuckles.
Who needs spanners this big?
Anyone working on trucks, trailers, tractors, excavators, pumps, hydraulics and structural steel. Axle nuts, hitch pins, hydraulic fittings and anchor bolts all live in the 32 to 65mm range. Workshop sets usually stop at 32mm, so these fill the gap.
What sizes do you stock?
Metric from 33mm to 65mm and imperial from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inch, sold individually from $58 so you buy only the sizes your machinery needs. If a size is missing from the list, ask, most of the Powerbuilt range can be ordered.
Can I use a pipe on a big spanner for leverage?
People do, and it bends spanners and breaks knuckles. If a spanner this size will not shift a nut with body weight, the nut wants a slogging spanner or an impact wrench with the right 3/4 inch impact socket. Penetrating oil and heat come before the pipe.
Are these chrome vanadium?
Yes, drop forged chrome vanadium steel, heat treated and chrome plated, with the size stamped on both ends. Covered by the Powerbuilt lifetime hand tool warranty.
