Description
Overview:
The Scaffold Spanner 7/16W Single-Ended with Hex Whitworth Socket is a tough, site-ready hand tool for assembling and maintaining scaffolding. Built around a forged steel body with a hardened hex Whitworth socket, it delivers a secure grip on standard UK scaffold nuts. The single-ended head is paired with a swing-over handle, allowing quick repositioning without lifting off the fastener. A bright zinc-plated finish gives reliable protection against rust, ideal for outdoor work in all weather. At 230 mm in length (9.06 inches), it offers a practical balance of reach and leverage without feeling bulky. Suitable for scaffolders, site operatives, and maintenance teams, this 7/16W spanner is purpose-made for tube-and-fitting systems and daily use on construction sites.
