Handy little socket set for under the seat on the R1 or in the glovebox in the car..

I recently ordered this Bahco 2058/S26 1/4 drive set from Amazon for £16 down from £36 and as I have a Prime account, it arrived the next day. Very impressed with this set and due to the Prime acct it was free delivery too. I have found it cheaper at £14.63 but not sure on the delivery price.

The ratcheting spanner is so tiny and has a handy 8mm ring at the other end. It feels like a quality tool with a nice fine toothed ratchet too.

I have the very same set and it's had two years of hard work so far and it's brilliant. Great tool.

Needs a 1/4" drive to hex drive adaptor adding though. The supplied one is too small to be useful and a one about inch and half long is much more useful. Only a couple of quid but very worth it.

One of the toolaholic guys I sometimes work with has recently got that set, I have borrowed it a couple of times, it is are very nice.

I think I paid 25 quid for mine on a special at a local shop. Worth every penny and is always getting brought out for jobs.

I've got one in my work box and the wife has one in the "clean indoor tools" set , they are gear for those awkward screws they you struggle to get to

Had one at work for 5 years, I use it all the time, very useful.

Also have a locking flex version from facom which has been very good but unfortunately the bit retainer has failed on both mine and a colleague's sadly.

I have the same one

What's not clear in the pictures is just how small the box is, I'm always surprised so much is in there every time I open it.

I got a cheap Titan branded version of the same thing from screwfix, the quality is not as good (I’d imagine ) but a handy little thing though.

I just bought one so hopefully it comes in handy?

Looks good and I need a new small set but not for bike. When you need one it will be a size you dont have. Under bike seat I keep set of hex keys and chopped-in-half spanners 8, 10, 12, 13 for where access is poor, and a tube that will fit either. Takes less space. Ive replaced most external bolts with bzp 12.9 cap heads, they will never round off, they are harder than the key. I also keep a string puncture kit, a block of wood for side stand and a mini air compressor with the cbr6. Will get me out of most problems, but not a stripped spark plug

I also have a little plastic bottle with very dilute screen wash and a little bit of sponge to clean my visor.
