Frequently Asked Questions:

• How does the hinged head help compared to a standard ratchet spanner?
  The 180° pivot allows you to angle the head around pipes, panels, or other obstacles while still applying torque.

• Can the ratchet head lock in place at a specific angle?
  No, it’s a free-moving hinge designed to adapt instantly to the working position needed this allows for easier access and protects the hands from damage.

• Is the ratcheting mechanism reversible?
  No, you can easily switch between tightening and loosening by flipping the spanner over.

• Will these work on rusted or corroded bolts?
  Yes, but for heavily seized bolts, it’s best to pre-treat with penetrating oil to protect the tool and fastener.

• Do they fit into tight engine compartments?
  Absolutely – the slim profile and flexible head are designed for areas with limited clearance.

• How does the strength compare to a fixed-head spanner?
  The chrome vanadium steel body is just as strong, but avoid excessive leverage on the hinge joint to prolong its life.

• Can they be used on stainless steel fasteners?
  Yes, the precision-machined heads grip well without excessive marking, even on stainless bolts.

• What’s a typical trade use for this set?
  Mechanics often use them for alternator brackets, exhaust clamps, and tight-access suspension components.

• How should I maintain the ratchet mechanism?
  Wipe it clean after each use, keep it free from grit, and occasionally apply light machine oil to maintain smooth action.

• Is the storage holder durable enough for site work?
  Yes, it’s designed to keep the set secure in a van, toolbox, or workshop without the spanners working loose.
