best spanner ratchets?

[assegayer]

hey guys,

Been doing lots and lots of metal work like ladder rack, basket and cable tray. now really need some good spanner ratchets you know the ones with the ratchet on one side and normal spanner on the other.

im an apprentice so would like good quality/ moderate but off course done want to break the bank.

mostly been using 17mm and 15mm so would like them two for now...any good ones out there on the internet or elsewhere?

PAH!. poncey overpriced spanners. what's wrong with a hammer and a £3 pound through screwdriver?

This is a little life saver at times and well worth the money. Armeg Screwdriver Bit & Socket Set - 27 Piece - SDB&SSET27

Great bit of kit to have in the bottom of your toolbox and gets you out of trouble when needed.

I've got the Stanley one, which I probably use every day.
I bought it after using someone else's on a job a couple of years ago. By the end of the job about half the sparks had bought one.

Adam, that is a nice bit of kit. I like it.

I used to have the channel sockets.....
Very good until someone took a liking to them and they disappeared!

As it sounds like you have a limited budget have a look at box spanners (tubular spanners) very good for unistrut and for tightening up motors terminals etc with long studs,

Best make I've used are "Unior", proper forged steel will last forever! instead of formed tube and you can get any metric size individually,

So just get the sizes you use most, it can be useful to have two of each size for when you can't get a spanner in.

ie 17mm is about £6 tommy bar around £3
