    Spanners

    Spanners are hand tools designed to tighten or loosen hexagonal bolts or nuts in mechanical and construction applications. When the correct sized spanner is used, they will grip the chosen bolt or nut and then require the strength of the user to apply enough force to complete the desired movement.

    We have an extensive range of spanners, including singular spanners in a wide variety of sizes, spanner sets, combination spanners, ratchet spanners, C-spanners, hook spanners, and components and accessories.

    Sockets

    Sockets are tools used in conjunction with torque or socket wrenches or ratchets to aid in the fastening or loosening of nuts and bolts. Sockets provide more contact points between the tool and nut/bolt, allowing more torque to be applied and reducing the risk of rounding the nut/bolt head.

    There are several types of socket available, including regular/non-impact sockets, impact sockets, and socket sets. We also have a selection of socket accessories, which includes bit adapters, handles and extension sets.

    Wrenches

    A wrench is one of the most common tools found in any toolkit, which is why it is important to ensure you have a strong, high-quality and durable wrench in your collection. Used by everyone from engineers to plumbers and automotive technicians to DIY enthusiasts, wrenches are available in many shapes and sizes and here at RS we have a wide selection for you to choose from.
