Adjustable Wrenches — Shifters & Adjustable Spanners
An adjustable wrench (shifter or adjustable spanner) is the most versatile hand wrench in any toolkit — one tool covers a wide range of fastener sizes. AIMS Industrial sells adjustable wrenches from Bahco, covering compact 150mm pocket spanners through to heavy 600mm wrenches for industrial maintenance and plumbing applications.
Adjustable Wrenches We Stock
- Bahco Adjustable Wrenches: Bahco adjustable wrenches (Ergo series) feature a slim-head profile for access in confined spaces and a rust-resistant chrome vanadium jaw — available in 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, 375mm, and 450mm lengths to suit a full range of fastener sizes.
- Heavy-Duty 600mm Shifters: Large adjustable wrenches (600mm+) for pipeline fittings, large hex fasteners, and industrial maintenance tasks requiring high torque. Chrome vanadium construction ensures the jaw does not spread under load.
- Compact & Pocket Wrenches: 150mm–200mm adjustable wrenches for electricians, HVAC technicians, and service workers who need a compact adjustable spanner in a tool belt or service bag. Slim-jaw profiles access recessed fasteners on switchboard and panel work.
Selecting the Right Adjustable Wrench
- Length and Jaw Opening: Wrench length determines both the fastener size range and the torque available. Match the wrench jaw opening to the largest fastener you expect to turn — using a wrench at the limit of its jaw range reduces jaw contact area and risks rounding the fastener.
- Chrome Vanadium vs Standard Steel: Bahco adjustable wrenches are manufactured from chrome vanadium (CrV) alloy steel — providing higher strength and toughness than plain carbon steel equivalents. The chrome plated finish resists corrosion in workshop and plumbing environments.
- Slim-Head Design: Bahco Ergo series adjustable wrenches have a slim-head profile that reduces the approach angle to hex fasteners in close quarters — an important consideration for plumbing and HVAC service work where pipes and fittings are tightly packed.
- Backlash and Jaw Fit: Quality adjustable wrenches have minimal jaw backlash — loose jaw adjustment allows the wrench to rock on the fastener, rounding flats. Inspect the jaw adjustment mechanism before purchase: there should be minimal free play when the jaw is set to a fastener size.
