Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of a 6-point combination spanner?
A 6-point combination spanner provides greater contact with the flats of a nut or bolt than higher-point designs, helping to reduce the risk of rounding damaged or tight fasteners. The ring end is ideal for applying higher torque, while the open end allows for quick positioning and adjustments. This makes the Britool Hallmark combination spanner set an excellent choice for professional mechanics, engineers and DIY users who require strength, accuracy and reliable performance.
What material are the Britool Hallmark combination spanners made from?
Each Britool Hallmark combination spanner is manufactured from heat-treated Chrome Vanadium steel, offering excellent strength, durability and resistance to wear. The highly polished mirror chrome finish helps protect against corrosion while making the spanners easy to clean after use in busy workshops, garages and industrial environments.
What is the difference between the open end and ring end of a combination spanner?
The open-ended jaw provides quick access to nuts and bolts where positioning a closed ring is difficult, while the 6-point hexagon ring provides more enclosed contact around a compatible fastener. Using both profiles in one tool makes a combination spanner a versatile choice for automotive repairs, vehicle servicing, engineering and general maintenance.
Are the Britool Hallmark 6 point combination spanners available as a full set?
Yes. The full 12-piece 8mm–19mm combination spanner range is also available as the CEHMSET12TC, supplied in a Tool Control foam tray. The organised foam storage makes it easy to identify each spanner and maintain an efficient toolbox or professional workshop roll cab.
