Can you recommend me a set of ratchet swivel head spanners and where to get.

As title says. Hoping to pick up today so if anyone knows somewhere that sells a decent set for a reasonable price that would be great.

Thanks

Halfords Pro do an excellent full set but whether you want to spend that much or need that many is a different matter.

I bought them half price though...

What's your budget and what sizes in particular?

 

[armyash]

8-19mm.

Din't want to spend that much as i don't think I will use them a lot.

Thanks for the reply though.

I've got the facom set and I absolutely love them! But the britool set near on the same has 2 extra sizes and is £50 cheaper I think.

Ash even the rolson sets are £50 in machine Mart. That halfords doesn't look too sad plus lifetime warranty...

If your not going to use them....... Why buy them? I only buy tools I need unless it's Milwaukee then by default it's needed

Milwaukee perv.

Why buy them?

Shiny of course.

Tbh the rigid (non-swivel) ratchet spanners are more useful as a rapid spanner/socket set replacement, even with a set of swivel heads you'll probably still reach for adjustables to attack a nut or fitting at an odd angle.

 

[gasmanrob]

Use at least one of mine on every service. Invaluable if you ask me......which you didn't
