Why Choose the Elora 205S 6W Whitworth Spanner Set?

True Whitworth Sizing for Authentic Restoration

Whitworth (WW) is a historic British thread standard developed by Sir Joseph Whitworth in 1841 and used extensively throughout British engineering for over a century. Whitworth spanner sizes refer to the bolt diameter, not the across-flats measurement, making them non-interchangeable with metric or AF spanners. This set provides genuine, accurate Whitworth sizing essential for working on original fasteners without damage.

Covers the Most-Used Whitworth Sizes

This 6-piece set focuses on the most frequently used Whitworth sizes from 3/16" to 1/2" WW, the sweet spot for the majority of work on classic British motorcycles and many vintage vehicles, where these sizes account for the bulk of everyday fasteners.

Premium Chrome Vanadium Steel Construction

Each spanner is forged from high-grade chrome vanadium steel, then hardened and tempered for exceptional strength and resistance to wear. The chrome-plated finish provides long-lasting protection against corrosion, ensuring your tools maintain their performance and appearance over years of use.

Long-Pattern Design for Greater Leverage

The long-pattern construction provides extended reach and increased leverage, making it easier to access fasteners in tight or awkward locations and helping to free aged or seized Whitworth fasteners that often require extra persuasion.

Polished Bi-Hexagon Ring End

The polished 12-point bi-hexagon ring end grips fasteners securely from multiple angles, helping to protect the original heads of valuable vintage fasteners. The 12-point design allows the spanner to be repositioned in 30° increments, particularly useful when working in the confined spaces typical of classic vehicle engine bays.

15° Offset Jaw

The open jaw is offset at 15°, providing valuable knuckle clearance and improved access when working close to surfaces or in restricted areas.

Manufactured to DIN 3113 Form B / ISO 3318

Produced to internationally recognised DIN 3113 Form B and ISO 3318 specifications, this set delivers consistent dimensional accuracy, strength, and safety, the hallmarks of genuine Elora quality.

Convenient Carton Packaging

Supplied in tidy carton packaging, the set is easy to store on the workshop shelf or transport between jobs.

Specifications

A Note on Whitworth vs BSF Sizing

Whitworth (WW) and British Standard Fine (BSF) share the same thread form, but BSF spanners are typically one size smaller in marking than Whitworth (e.g. a 1/4" BSF spanner has the same across-flats dimension as a 5/16" Whitworth). Many classic vehicles use a mix of both standards, so it's worth being aware of when sourcing the right tool for the job.
