torque capability of slogging spanner ?
(OP)
I have a difficult bolting application that might be solved by the use of an open ended slogging spanner. The nuts to be tightened are M36. Does anyone have an approximate feel for the amount of torque that could be applied by such a tool ?
Clearly it alot depends on how hard you can hit the spanner!!!, but there must be someone who has a rough idea as to what can reasonably be achieved. Your comments and thoughts would be most welcome.

If possible use a ring spanner, not an open-ended one, as this is less likely to come off the nut when you hit it.
In my experience, you can use this type of spanner to bring Grade 8.8 bolts to the "yield plateau", providing you have a long enough tube to put over the end of the spanner, and a willing helper to turn it for you.
Look in the Snap-on catalogue under "sledge hammer wrenches".
