What would de the correct English word for this tool?
we call them floggers, just looked it up in the brammer catalogue and its proper name is a slogging spanner

metric ring slogging spanner
Thanks. We don't have that kind of info in the Netherlands.
I guess you smack it with a hammer, my type of tool lol.
Everywhere that I've worked they have also been called flogging spanners.

What a novel idea...
A spanner designed to be hit with a hammer

If the offshore world ( Aberdeen and the likes) these would be flogging spanners
Well! You learn something every day. Never heard of or even seen them before!
Cheers,

I used to use these flogging spanners on a daily basis until the health and safety brigade saw them. They've been banned by the H&S for almost everything they were intended for!!
Huh, never seen one of those before either.
Seriously? Must check that out as they are used all the time here!

Hi
We use them a lot offshore as mentioned above. They are supposed to be used when tightening with a machined recess, usually with a gasket between
(valve flanges etc) the idea being you hit it until the note changes to a 'ring'. This tells you that both flanges are metal to metal and
the machined recess is compressing the spiral wound gasket correctly. Torque bars or torque multipliers are the more acceptable method but using a big
hammer with these is much more fun!!

We use them at our ship repair yard. I needed the proper word in order to write my report in English.
I've not seen one of those for a long time. They were flogging spanners here as well. Is it still Christmas there Marten? I never heard them
called slogging spanners. There's a link to some here.

We used to use them to tighten the top nut on 36" (Yes-3 foot) pumps when I was an apprentice. It was the apprentices job. Stood there swinging
with a large sledge hammer untill the Fitter said "Okay". Then "You can undo it now,Don't be such a cheeky (^%*** in the
future." Couldn't lift your arms above the shoulder after doing them.
Happy days.
Last time i used one of those it ended in Tears 
Think i've still got the scar..
In petro-chem industry they have copper version to hit with copper hammer intringically safe (no sparks).
Tend to be used on 1" plus only Never seen a 2BA flogging spanner

Use them all the time, they're in the van next to the podgers.
Sorry,
Late to the party:
Correct name would be "Flat Flogging Spanner"
As oppossed to "offset" ones

you can also stick a bit of tube over the end of it and just use it like a giant spanner (obviously it needs to be a fairly strong / close fitting tube)
the last time I saw them using a bar ~1.5m long
I'd never seen untill a year ago when I had to start designing structures that needed M42 bolts to hold them to the ground
and aparently it hard to get 65mm spaners.....

When you get bolts that big i tends to be hydraulic bolt stretchers that are the weapon l of choice.

Bolt tensioning requires a lot of space above the bolt and also requires special bolts/studs which are extra long, a simpler solution is a hytorc head (hydraulic spanner) such as this:

I bet that isn't cheap !
Some of the replies on this thread have explained why the H and S have had a party with flogging spanners! And there I was thinking it was because
there is a safer way to tighten big stuff, rather than use a big 'ammer........
We use these babies.

I've broken a 1" drive strong arm trying to undo the wheel nuts on one of our forklifts, had it hooked onto the 70t overhead crane, still
ended up burning two nuts off, and we've sheared the centre off the torque multiplier so many times the money men refuse to have it fixed.

That's what we tried before hooking the strong bar to the crane, made a hell of a lot of noise, didn't undo the nuts though.
