12pcs Flexible Combination Ratchet Spanner Wrench Set Car Garage Tool Kit 8-19mm

I've Always wanted a set for when I can't be arsed to get the socket set out or there's not enough space to get a socket in , I hate having to take a spanner off to re-adjust, First looks , looks great quality good with a smooth ratchet mechanism and for £25 pounds more than half the price of "hell frauds" with all sizes included

EDIT :- just looked at my link and its gone down to £23 I've been ripped off lol :cry:

They look good but will they snap or bend?

Time will tell, no worse than halfords, machine Mart etc, from looking at them personal thought they were a bargain for the diy mechanic, granted most prob not "snap on" quality

IIRC the Halfords Professional range have the lifetime guarantee but their 'standard' ranges don't

German made, look pretty tidy. I reckon you'd have to go some to snap or bend one, though I'm sure there's members on here that are seasoned pros at snapping and bending things and will put me right. :wink:
