Ingco HCSPAR171 Ratchet Spanner 17MM (HCSPAR171)

The Ingco HCSPAR171 Ratchet Spanner appears to be a single-sized wrench designed for tightening or loosening 17mm nuts and bolts. Here’s a breakdown of its features and what you should consider before buying one:

Features:

• Size: 17mm – Fits nuts and bolts with a 17 millimeter head size.
• Ratcheting Mechanism: Allows for continuous turning in one direction without needing to reposition the spanner on the fastener (nut or bolt).
• Material (possible): Chrome Vanadium Steel (Cr-V) – A common and relatively durable material used in hand tools (confirmation on specific material might be needed from retailer descriptions or the Ingco website).
• Chrome Plated Finish (possible): Provides a smooth and corrosion-resistant surface (confirmation recommended).
• Length (possible): 225mm (approximately 8.9 inches) – Confirmation on length can be found on retailer descriptions.

Benefits:

• Easy to Use: The ratcheting mechanism allows for faster and more efficient turning of fasteners.
• Specific Size: Ensures a perfect fit for 17mm nuts and bolts.
• Durable Material (possible): Chrome Vanadium Steel offers a good balance of strength and affordability (check description for confirmation).
• Corrosion Resistant Finish (possible): Chrome plating protects the spanner from rust (check description for confirmation).

Things to Consider:

• Limited Size: This is a single wrench for a specific size (17mm). Consider an adjustable wrench or a socket set if you need to work with various sizes.
• Torque Limitations: This spanner might not be suitable for very high torque applications.
• Length: The length (possibly 8.9 inches) might not be ideal for tight spaces. Consider a shorter option if needed.

Finding More Information:

• Retailer Websites: Search online retailers in Nairobi for “Ingco HCSPAR171 Ratchet Spanner 17MM”. Descriptions often mention the length, user reviews on performance and ease of use, and any warranty information.
• Ingco Website: Check the Ingco website’s hand tool section for information on the HCSPAR171 or similar models. They might have a product page with specifications and a user manual.

Do you already have other wrenches or a socket set?

If you plan on working with various nut and bolt sizes, an adjustable wrench or a socket set might be more versatile than a single-size ratchet spanner.
