Taparia Combination Spanner has an open jaw at one end and a ring at the other, both the same size — available here in 10, 13, 17 and 19 mm.

The two ends are not redundant; they do different jobs and you use both on the same fastener. The ring end grips all six faces of a nut, which spreads the load and is what you use to break a tight fastener loose or do the final tightening — it will not round the corners. The open end grips only two faces and is therefore weaker, but it slides on sideways, which is the only way onto a nut on a pipe or in a confined space.

The working method follows: crack it loose with the ring, spin it off with the open end, then tighten with the ring again. Using the open end to break a seized nut is how nuts get rounded.

Technical Specifications

1) Why does a combination spanner have two different ends?

They do different jobs. The ring end grips all six faces and will not round a nut — use it to loosen and finally tighten. The open end grips two faces but slides on sideways, which is the only way onto a nut on a pipe or in a tight space.

2) Which end should I use to loosen a tight nut?

The ring end, always. It spreads load across all six faces. Using the open end on a seized fastener concentrates force on two corners and rounds them, after which no spanner will grip it.

3) Are both ends the same size?

Yes — on a combination spanner both ends are the same size. That is the point: one tool covers one fastener size completely, with no swapping mid-job.

4) Which sizes should I buy?

10, 13, 17 and 19 mm cover the majority of everyday fasteners in appliances, furniture, plumbing and light automotive work. If you want a full spread, the 8-piece or 12-piece sets are better value than buying singly.

5) Can I put a pipe on the handle for more leverage?

No. A spanner is sized for hand force, and a cheater bar can spring the jaw open or snap the tool — usually with your hand travelling fast in the direction you were pulling.
