Abstract (en)

A method (3) for forming a spanner includes following steps (31, 32, 33, 34): preparing a cylindrical metal blank (7), heating the metal blank (7) to become softened, shaping the metal blank (7) by pressing and pushing the metal blank (7) forward on a shaping die (52) with a pushing unit (53) to form two head sections (71) and a holding section (72) connected between the head sections (71), and stamping the metal blank (7) when the metal blank (7) still has residual heat to flatten the holding section (72) and shape each head section (71) into a spanner-shaped part (711) . Therefore, a spanner product is made. The method (3) simplifies the processing procedures, decreases residual materials, achieves a quick shaping operation, reduces processing costs, and increases the forming efficiency.
