Spanner Sets & Wrench Sets

Whether you’re tightening fixings on-site, assembling machinery, or working in the garage, a quality spanner or wrench is essential. From a single spanner to a complete combination spanner set, having the right tools helps you work efficiently, safely, and confidently.

Spanners and wrenches are toolbox essentials

Spanners and wrenches are fastening tools designed to grip and turn nuts, bolts, and other fasteners. You’ll find them used in every trade: plumbing, electrical, automotive, construction, and general maintenance. A spanner is typically a hand tool with a fixed-size opening to match a specific nut or bolt, while a wrench often describes an adjustable tool or a design with a ratcheting mechanism.

Many professionals prefer a combination spanner set, which provides an open end for quick turning and a ring end for secure grip. Whether you need a single wrench for occasional jobs or a full metric spanner set to cover all sizes, ITS has you covered.

Get the job done with the right spanner or wrench

Choosing the right spanner or wrench makes every job simpler and helps avoid damage to fasteners. Quality tools are built to withstand high torque and provide a comfortable grip, reducing strain on your hands and wrists.

At ITS, you’ll find spanners, wrenches, and complete sets built for professional use day in, day out. Some features to look for include:

  • Chrome Vanadium Steel: Strong, durable construction that resists corrosion.
  • Polished Finish: Easy to clean and protects against rust.
  • Precision-Machined Jaws: Ensure a tight fit to prevent slipping.
  • Ring Ends with Offsets: Make it easier to reach recessed bolts.
  • Combination Designs: Combine open and ring ends in one tool for maximum versatility.

Different tasks call for different tools. Here are some of the most popular types you’ll find in our range. Whether you need a single spanner or a full combination wrench set, you’ll find options to suit every trade:

Combination Spanner

The most popular choice, combining an open end with a ring end in one tool.

Adjustable Wrench

Also called an adjustable spanner, ideal for varied sizes without carrying multiple tools.

Ratchet Wrench

Speeds up repetitive tasks by allowing continuous turning without removing the wrench.

Metric Spanner Set

Covers the most common sizes used on site, especially for European and modern machinery.

Imperial Spanners

Essential if you work with older equipment or US-manufactured fixings.

Choosing the right spanner set

Selecting a spanner set depends on your work and the fasteners you deal with most often. A metric spanner set is the go-to for most construction and automotive tasks. For maximum coverage, many professionals invest in a full combination spanner set with both metric and imperial sizes. If you’re working in tight spaces, consider slim-profile designs or ratcheting wrenches to save time.

If you’re unsure which combination wrench or spanner suits your work best, the ITS team is always here to help. When comparing spanners and wrenches, think about:

  • Material Quality: Look for chrome vanadium or alloy steel for strength and durability.
  • Finish: Polished or satin finishes improve grip and reduce corrosion.
  • Storage: Sets often come in handy racks or cases to keep your tools organised.
  • Size Range: Make sure your set includes all the sizes you’re likely to encounter.
