Combination wrenches

A combination wrench or spanner features two heads, one at each end of the handle, each designed for a different type of fastening task. One end is a traditional open-end spanner, suitable for quick access and general use, while the other end is a closed or ring spanner, offering a secure, even grip ideal for high-torque applications. The term "combination wrench” refers to this dual-head design. These tools are size-specific — that is, both heads are precisely machined to work on the same size fasteners.

Because they combine versatility and strength in one tool, combination wrenches save space in your toolbox and reduce the need to switch between multiple tools, making them indispensable for both quick fixes and more demanding tasks.

Combination wrench sets are ideal when your work calls for tackling multiple fastener sizes and you need the freedom to move from one task to the next without missing a beat. While open-end spanners are suitable for most situations, such as loosening overtightened or rusted fasteners or applying high torque, the closed, or ring head, offers superior grip and security. A combination wrench provides both options in a single tool, ensuring you have the right configuration for the job at hand.

This dual functionality reduces the need to carry two separate wrench kits. The convenience of switching between heads without changing tools is especially valuable when working in confined or hard-to-reach areas. With that in mind, a combination wrench set can form the backbone of your professional toolset, with the flexibility and performance that delivers when it matters.

The included sizes can vary depending on the specific product. One of our most popular configurations is the 14-piece metric set, which includes the following sizes: 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 22 and 24 mm. This selection is well-suited to a wide range of tasks and environments.

An excellent combination wrench demonstrates precise fit and unmatched durability. Look for tools made from premium alloy steel, manufactured to recognised standards. A well-balanced design, smooth surface finish and reliable grip are also signs of superior craftsmanship. Choosing a trusted brand like Beta Tools ensures professional-grade results every time.

Yes, some products in our combination wrench range are available individually, perfect if you need to replace a single size or add to an existing set. 

Yes, many of our sets include a durable storage wallet or box to keep your wrenches organised and protected between jobs. Check the product details to see if your chosen set consists of a case or wallet.

Choose a wrench size that matches the diameter of the fastener (bolt or nut) exactly. For example, use a 13 mm wrench for a 13 mm nut. Using a wrench that’s too large can cause slipping, while one that’s too small simply won’t fit. Always make sure the wrench fits snugly and securely before applying torque to prevent rounding the fastener’s edges.

With a bit of regular care, your combination wrenches will stay in top condition for years. Follow these simple steps to keep them performing their best:

• Wipe them clean after use to remove grease, dirt or grit
• Store them in a dry place (to prevent corrosion)
• Occasionally, apply a light coat of oil for rust prevention
• Avoid using a wrench with excessive force or as a hammer
• Don’t expose them to corrosive chemicals or acids
