Product Summary

The Facom Spanner Set is a 14-piece metric set designed for routine mechanical work. It covers selected sizes from 7 mm to 24 mm, with an open end and a 12-point ring end on each spanner.

This is the type of tool set that gets used regularly onboard—for engine servicing, pumps, brackets, deck machinery and general repairs. The 15-degree head angle helps around restricted machinery, while the portable holder keeps the set organised.

TYMH has personally used this product and recommends it as a reliable part of a boat’s onboard tool kit.

Why TYMH Likes It

Tools live a harder life on a yacht than they do in a dry workshop. TYMH has found this Facom set easy to use, long-lasting and very resistant to surface corrosion when cared for correctly.

Facom is a trusted professional brand frequently seen aboard working yachts. These spanners feel dependable, cover many commonly used metric sizes and are suitable for regular onboard work.

They are not the cheapest option, but TYMH believes the durability makes them worth considering for a tool kit that will be used properly.

Best for

  • Engine-room maintenance
  • Pumps, brackets and machinery
  • Tender servicing
  • Deck equipment
  • General metric nuts and bolts
  • Routine servicing and yard periods
