Efficient fastening with Facom

Practical benefits

Clearance for long threaded rods: The hollow tubular design allows you to reach deeply seated nuts over extending threaded rods without obstruction.
Two metric sizes included: Switch easily between the 16 mm and 17 mm 6-point sockets without carrying multiple separate tools.
Increased leverage for tightening: Insert a tommy bar through the cross hole or use a wrench on the hexagonal body for greater turning power.

In a nutshell

The right choise for

With the Facom 97.16X17 straight double box spanner, you can effortlessly access deeply recessed fasteners on long threaded rods. Thanks to its fully hollow, straight 160 mm body, it easily slides over protruding studs where regular open-ended spanners cannot reach. Featuring 6-point profiles in both 16 mm and 17 mm, this forged tool allows you to switch between two common sizes while maintaining a secure grip on hex nuts and bolts without rounding them. When you need extra turning power, insert a tommy bar through the cross hole or place a wrench on the hexagonal body to tighten or loosen stubborn fastenings with full control.
