What size scaffold spanners are available?

Our spanners are available in 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, 24mm, and reversible sizes, covering all standard scaffolding nuts and bolts.

Are your scaffold spanners suitable for professional site use?

Yes. Every spanner we sell is tested for strength and reliability, designed to withstand daily use on construction sites.

Do you offer spanners for both hand-tightening and ratchet use?

Yes. We provide traditional hand spanners as well as ratchet podger spanners for faster, more efficient tightening of scaffolding fittings around scaffold poles.

Can scaffold spanners be used with other scaffolding tools?

Absolutely. Our spanners are compatible with standard scaffolding components, and we also supply holders, belts, and tethers to make them easier and safer to carry on site.

What makes a good scaffold spanner?

High-quality scaffold spanners offer strength, durability, and precision, along with comfortable grips for ease of use. Ratchet or reversible designs make tasks at height faster and more efficient.

What is a spanner used for?

A spanner (or wrench) is used to tighten or loosen nuts and bolts. They come in various types to suit different sizes and applications.

Are ratchet spanners better than fixed spanners?

Ratchet spanners allow continuous turning without repositioning, speeding up repetitive tasks. Fixed spanners provide solid, precise tightening for heavy-duty jobs.

Can I use a spanner on different bolt types?

Spanners are designed for standard nuts and bolts. Using the correct type and size ensures safety and avoids damage to the fasteners. It is recommended to check the bolt size and the spanner’s compatibility before use.

How do I maintain my spanner?

Keep the spanner clean and dry, check for wear regularly, and lubricate moving parts on ratchet spanners to extend their lifespan.

Are scaffold spanners suitable for DIY projects?

While they can be used for DIY, scaffold spanners are primarily designed for scaffold erecting work.

Steel or titanium scaffold spanner – which is better?

Steel: Tough, durable, cost-effective, built to last a lifetime.
Titanium: 40–45% lighter, non-magnetic, ideal for carrying multiple spanners all day.

Bottom line: Choose steel scaffold spanners for strength and affordability, titanium for weight savings and ease of use.
