Ratchet spanners

[jordan1]

My spanners are getting a little tired, had them over 50yrs. Thought I would try a set of ratchet ones to supplement them, went for mid range quality, Bahco seem to be adequate for my needs. They arrived today, seem decent quality, time will tell of course. Anyone else used this brand?.

I haven't used bacho's ratchet spammers, but I've got a bacho socket set and it's excellent. Imho bacho make the best adjustable spammers money can buy.

SNA Europe bought them http://www.snaeurope.com/contact-us Several locations throughout Europe.

Lifted from the site "SNA Europe is the premier pan-European manufacturer of hand tools and saws, part of Snap-on Incorporated."

I use Craftsman a lot, but they are for doing up not for tightening

Totally agree...top notch tools.

And not for cracking off (ooh er misses) either.

I've had a few Halfords Ratchet spanners for at least 5yrs, and they are still going strong despite not heeding the above advise

got some bluepoint ones a few years back and a set of stubby facom ones. stubby ones are very handy if you can pick them up when they are on offer.

you may or may not know this but don't put the impact wrench on one end of the bolt and the ratchet on the other. it take 0.25 secs to render it useless for the rest of its life

I have a bunch of Bahco stuff, socket set, all excellent.
There adjustable spanners are as said the bees knees.
