Product FAQs
Why do scaffolders choose this 19/21mm ratchet podger?
Scaffolders favour this tool for its reversible ratchet, which quickly tightens and loosens fittings.
How does this ratchet reverse?
It features a flick lever on the head of the spanner that lets you quickly switch between clockwise and anti-clockwise ratcheting.
Will it fit in a standard scaffold tool belt and frogs?
Yes, it measures only 240mm, so it would fit comfortably in most podger holsters, belt loops or scaffold frogs.
Is it safe to use at height?
Yes. However, unlike other podgers, this model does not feature a lanyard hole. For safety when working at height, it is advisable to secure a lanyard to the spanner shaft and to the wrist when possible.
How do you use the pointed tapered end?
The pointed end of a podger is essential for aligning holes when scaffolding or erecting steel. Use it as follows:
Check hole alignment – Look for misaligned holes.
Grip correctly – Hold near the ratchet head or shaft centre.
Insert – Place the tapered tip into the misaligned holes.
Twist and lever – Rotate gently to align the holes using the taper.
Hold – Keep the podger in place to maintain alignment.
Bolt through – Insert the bolt through the aligned holes.
Remove podger – Pull out the ratchet podger spanner tool, then tighten the nut.
