How it works
C-spanners are used where a hooked contact point is needed to engage and turn slotted round nuts. This makes them a practical choice for adjustment, fastening and maintenance work where the nut profile is not suited to a standard open-ended or ring spanner.
In everyday buying terms, the main selection points are the nut size range, hook fit and how much working space is available around the component. Choosing the right C-spanner helps create a more secure fit and better control during adjustment.
When to use

- When a slotted round nut needs to be adjusted or tightened.
