Hand Tools
JCB hand tools are made from the materials that professional tradespeople trust: chrome vanadium steel throughout, drop-forged and heat-treated for hardness and toughness. The range covers slogging spanners from 24mm to 90mm for heavy industrial fastening, plier sets in chrome vanadium steel with hardened cutting edges, TORX and hex L-key sets in 7 and 9-piece configurations, combination socket and bit sets, tape measures and screwdriver bit sets. Everything a tradesperson or mechanic needs to work with fasteners in workshop, automotive, agricultural and construction environments. All built to last through professional daily use without flex, fatigue or failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is chrome vanadium steel and why does it matter?
Chrome vanadium steel is an alloy used for professional hand tools. It is harder and more resistant to wear and deformation than standard steel, meaning sockets and spanners maintain their shape under high torque without rounding off the fastener.
What are slogging spanners used for?
Slogging spanners are heavy single-ring spanners designed to be struck with a hammer to generate very high torque on large or seized fasteners. They are used in agricultural, construction and industrial settings for fasteners too large or too tight for standard ring spanners.
What TORX sizes do I need for automotive and machinery work?
The JCB 7-piece TORX set covers T10H through T40H, which handles most automotive interior trim, engine bay and brake caliper fasteners. The 9-piece set extends to T50H for larger machinery and agricultural equipment applications.
