Theres a link, http://www.craftsman.com/shc/s/p_10155_ ... ockType=L1 I find they dont have a good enough angle to make them useful. And if the nut/bolt is rounded off they just keep slipping round. Your local Bunnings may have some, were on special a while ago. |

Again.....crap. I will back that up. A bit like those crescent 'undo anything' tools that all dads get for fathers day. The gear in them is too coarse so everything slips out. |

Tim I would have thought the reason for using a ratchet spanner was because space is at a premium.. a ratchet on that thing would never fit

http://www.warrenandbrown.com.au/Includ ... Wrench.pdf Not cheap though! 30 degrees ratchet is pretty average, and once youve got it in the tight spot 9 times out of 10 youll have put it in backwards. Im not a fan. |

http://www.warrenandbrown.com.au/Includ ... Wrench.pdf Not cheap though! I have those exact wrenches, and they are useless. Need too far to swing and that's if you can get a grip. I may have used them once successfully. Ratcheting ring spanners though are worth their weight in gold. |
