Spanners and Keys – Tools Making Manufacturing Easy

Modern day mechanics have made huge strides and advanced to a level where human labour is quite outmoded. In such times, machines are everywhere to find and work has been simply reduced. Machines have become sophisticated too and so have the spanners (also called wrenches).

Spanners are tools that provide a proper grip or mechanical advantage in applying torque for turning objects which are rotary fasteners like nuts and bolts. It is also applied on nuts and bolts to keep them tight in their respective positions. They are typically made of chromium-vanadium alloy and are chrome plated for resisting corrosive action.

There is a wide range of spanners in the market available in various designs and for different utility. Most common among them being:

1.    Open ended spanner: This has U-shaped opening on both sides of different size.
2.    Box end spanner: This has enclosed opening to fix properly to the face of the nuts and bolts.
3.    Combination wrench: This is open ended from one side and box end spanner on other side.

Apart from these, you can buy spanners online of various other varieties as well.

Another modern day utility tools are key sets. They have almost the same application as spanners. The most commonly used key sets are hex and torx key sets.

“Definitely there is a need for better quality of tools if we need to have manufacturing prowess and there is a huge requirement for online spanner variety” is what big e-commerce platforms like Tolexo, Amazon believe in, when it comes to consolidating tools segment.
