Executive summary
In this paper we will analyze the design of spanner preferably adjustable spanner, the
design of this spanner is drawn using an AutoCAD computer software. In the analysis, we also
check some other types of spanner which are very significant in industrial use. The paper will
analyse the available manufacturing methods for spanner as well as scrutinizes both conceptual
and final design of spanner. In this report, we also look at some material tools which are
employed in the design and manufacturing of spanners.
