 Hints on using Spanners

Always select a spanner which fits the nut or bolt properly.
A spanner that is too large may slip off the nut and possibly
cause an accident.

When ever possible ,It is advisable to pull rather than push on
a spanner in order to avoid injury if the wrench should slip.

Always be sure that the nut is fully seated in the spanner jaw.

Use a spanner in the same plane as the nut or bolt head

When tightening or loosening a nut, a sharp quick jerk is more
effective than a steady pull.

A drop of oil on the threads, when assembling a bolt and nut,
will ensure easier removal later.
