Customer Questions & Answers
What are the benefits of the spanners being made from chrome vanadium steel compared with other materials?
Chrome vanadium steel offers an excellent combination of mechanical strength, toughness and durability, and is less prone to rust and corrosion compared with ordinary steels. This extends the service life of the tools, reduces wear under heavy loads and maintains dimensional accuracy for longer.
What are the dimensions, total weight of the set and exactly what is included in the box?
The set includes 18 pieces: 6 hex socket spanners (8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 17 mm), 9 square socket spanners (7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 mm and 5/16'', 3/8''), 1 triangular socket (10 mm), 1 plug socket (10 mm) and a 3/8'' x 200 mm ratchet handle. The approximate weight is 1.2 kg and the spanners are between 40 and 60 mm long depending on size.
Does it require any special maintenance to keep the set in optimum condition over the long term?
It is recommended to clean the spanners after each use to prevent oil or dirt build-up, dry them completely to avoid corrosion and store them in the original case to protect them from moisture. Chrome vanadium steel does not require special lubrication, but the ratchet mechanism may benefit from semi-annual lubrication with light grease.
Are spare parts available or can individual pieces be purchased in the event of loss or breakage?
These sets usually do not have specific original spare parts, so if a single spanner is lost or damaged, replacement parts of the same size and profile from standard hand tool brands would need to be sourced. It is advisable to check with the supplier for availability before buying the set if replacement may be needed.
