Spanners & Wrenches in Sri Lanka

Spanners — yathuru — are the tools that get used every day and outlive almost everything else in the box, so they are worth buying properly once. This range covers combination spanners with a ring at one end and an open jaw at the other, double ring and double open-end spanners, ratchet spanners, adjustable wrenches from small sizes up to 24 inches, and full sets of hex, ball-end and torx keys including extra-long versions.

Which end you use matters more than people think. A ring spanner grips a nut on all six corners and is far less likely to round it off, so it is the right choice for anything tight or corroded. An open jaw is faster and reaches fastenings a ring cannot drop over, such as a pipe union or a brake line. A ratchet spanner saves you repositioning in a confined space and is the difference between a two-minute job and a twenty-minute one. An adjustable wrench is the one to reach for when the size is odd or you simply do not have the right spanner, but it grips on two faces only, so it is a compromise rather than a first choice on a stubborn nut.

The long hex and ball-end key sets deserve a mention of their own. A ball end lets you turn a socket screw at an angle, which is what you need when the fastening sits behind something. Extra-long keys give you leverage and reach into recessed housings on machinery and furniture alike.

Mechanics, fitters, plumbers, electricians, machinery technicians, maintenance crews and home users all buy from this range, and hardware retailers stock the common sizes and sets because demand never stops.
