Yup - more food for thought.

 

German and Swedish (plus some French make) will more than likely do them for
your specific model. They're a car factor with depots around the country.

Excellent and guaranteed for life too.

I've got the metric set and during my garage roof replacement period (only
one year, that's all) they were soaked (and left un-noticed) to the point
nothing would turn. I soaked them all overnight in WD 40 and they're working
like brand new again.

I'm a fan of all Halfords "good" stuff as it's all got a lifetime guarantee.
And still a shit load cheaper than Snap-on.

Ah, yes I do mean ordinary bolts. I saw your "hex bolt" & thought
that's what you meant, as I always call the things you're talking about
socket head bolts.

Heh. Crowbar. Ykims.

 

Actually, they're not ratchet spanners at all, they're Torrington bearing
spanners. They don't have a "click", they just slip one way and grab the
other.

That's an Oddie fastener innit?

 

Yes, lifetime guarantee... they break and you get a replacement, no
questions asked...

Oh yes.

I have the normal set, the flex-head set and the stubby set, in all
sizes.

What? WHAT?

8mm will never fill it.

Dunno about the rivet thingies but the ratchet spanners are very good value
and I have had no problems with them. They are the most useful tools that I
have acquired recently (along with a set of hinged and short-handled ratchet
drives for my sockets).

 

Eh? If we're talking about the Halfords Professional Ratchet Ring
Spanners, as I have in my toolbox, they certainly do click, albeit quite
softly.

 

Crossing of wires on my side ogden. I've got a set of Halfords (72 clicks
pre revolution, same as Snap-on) and a set from Machine Mart with the
Torrington bearing. Those are the dogs bollocks of a spanner because there's
ZERO backlash and if you can get the ring over a nut, you can undo the nut,
they're *that* slop free. Even the best ratchet doesn't compare to a
Torrington.

But make sure you kept the receipt or they'll tell you the spanner's dead so
it's now out of guarantee, or they'll tell you some dead fucker bought them
and passed them on to you, so they're still out of guarantee.

I've never been asked for a reciept, I've changed 2x 1/4 dr. ratchets,
and 8mm and 10mm ratchet spanners... 'Course you northern types do
look a bit dodgey Beav... 'specially being a panel basher/sprayer,
well known thievings c*nts... I'd be surprised if they didn't ask you
to produce at least 3 forms of ID...

 

Well, on a siezed hex it sometimes shocks it loose but rarely. I'd
generally use the hex as a(n unnecessary) precursor to hammering an
over-sized torx in to free the fucking fastner.
