Please help us by telling us if you are in UK or USA because a spanner in the UK is what we in the USA would call a box wrench.


Even if this isnt your exact "spanner wrench", is the item you are referring to a flat piece of metal that is shaped in a specific way as to allow servicing of a lock set, or is your "spanner wrench" the kind of wrench a car mechanic would use to fix a car engine?

This is a USA box wrench which I believe folks in the UK call a spanner:

OR you have this thing:

Here's a Yale E5400 Spanner Wrench

If this picture is also not at all what you are thinking, do you mind doing a google image search and showing us something that closely resembles what you are seeking?

Thanks
