Adjustable spanner Bahco 8073 C

The Bahco 8073 C adjustable spanner is a single-piece forged alloy-steel wrench with a 305 mm overall length and a jaw width of 34 mm. Chrome-plated and precision-hardened with anti-corrosion treatment, it combines a slim, accessible head with the strength required for industrial and workshop use. The tool features parallel jaws set at a 15° angle, a laser-etched millimetre scale for pre-adjustment and accurate measurement, and a left-turning screw for jaw adjustment.

Advantages

The spanner delivers reliable jaw stability that prevents the jaw from falling out even at maximum opening. Precision hardening and high-performance alloy steel give the tool high strength and long service life. The slim head design improves access in confined spaces while the wide handle enhances grip comfort during extended use. Chrome plating and anti-corrosion treatment protect the tool in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Tightening and loosening nuts and bolts of varying sizes
• Workshop and industrial maintenance
• Plumbing and mechanical repairs in confined spaces
• General DIY and professional assembly tasks

Key specifications

• Overall length: 305 mm
• Maximum jaw width: 34 mm
• Weight: 665 g
• Material: high-performance alloy steel, forged in one piece
• Finish: chrome plated with anti-corrosion treatment
• Jaw configuration: parallel jaws at 15° angle
• Adjustment: left-turning screw with laser-etched mm scale

How to use

Select the appropriate jaw opening using the left-turning screw and pre-adjust the position using the laser-etched millimetre scale if required. Place the parallel jaws over the nut or bolt so the 15° angled jaws give firm contact, then tighten or loosen by applying steady force on the handle. Ensure the jaw is correctly seated before applying high torque to avoid slippage and reduce wear.

Recommendations

For long tool life, clean and dry the spanner after use, store it in a dry place, and periodically check the adjustment screw and jaw alignment. Avoid using the spanner as a hammer or prying tool and do not exceed the intended torque for the fastener size.
