A spanner is a type of wrench that is used to turn nuts and bolts. There are many different sizes and types of spanners, and the size you need will depend on the size of the bolt you are trying to turn. To calculate the spanner size you need for a particular bolt, you will first need to know the bolt’s diameter. Once you have the diameter, you can consult a spanner size chart to find the right size spanner for the job.<\/p>\n

To calculate spanner size for a bolt, first measure the bolt’s diameter with a ruler or caliper. Then, use a spanner size chart to find the corresponding spanner size for that diameter.<\/p>\n

How do I know what size spanner my bolt is? <\/h2>\n

A spanner is a tool used to tighten or loosen bolts and nuts. The size of the spanner is indicated by the width across the flats, which is imprinted in millimeters (mm) on the spanner. Older British and current US spanners have inch sizes that are imprinted in intermediate sizes in fractions.<\/p>\n

Most modern spanner sizes refer to the distance across the flats of the hexagonal nut or bolt they would fit. For example, a 17mm spanner would fit a nut 17mm across its flats. This is usually a nut to fit a 10mm diameter bolt (M10).<\/p>\n
