Bahco spanner headsup.

[robbo]

Just ordered a set of Bahco ratcheting spanners. Not seen these before, but maybe I need to get out a bit more :lol . Each spanner head is a double ended socket and covers 2 metric sizes, so the set of 3 spanners in a pouch covers 12 sizes(8mm to 19mm going from memory). Ideal for carrying on the bike. £29.95

I'll bet those are nice,I've had some Leytool ratchet spanners for some years now but half of them are A.F. so not much use,still got about 6 metric though.There's a lot of stuff changing to Torx type fixings now though isn't there? :\

[robbo]

Just changed the rear shocks on my car, they were torx. The one torx  socket I needed that I never had "Isn't sold singularly sir, only comes in a set of twelve".  I did suggest he keep the other 11 and sell them seperately for far more money, but he wasn't having any of that. :lol . I did consider ordering the T20 that I needed from ebay, but couldn't be arsed with jacking the car up again in order to tighten the necessary bolts. I've almost got a roll cab full of good tools that I'm never going to use again :rollin :rollin .

Nice spot robbo just ordered some as well. Bahco kit is usually decent quality their adjustable spanners and pipe wrenches have all survived the standard scaffold pudlock tube test.

Bahco is the only shifter worth a foc.  All the rest are, as far as I am aware, a waste of time.

Never had a problem shifting anything with my trusty old Stillies and a pudlock bought my pair of 24"s as an apprentice nearly 50 years ago, used and abused, now a little battered and a bent handle but still shifting

Desperate stuff. :eek

Yes,the good old Brummie screwdriver. :lol

New spanners arrived yesterday. Very well made and a very novel idea in having double ended sockets of differing sizes. Great price considering they're 50 odd quid on some websites. Well pleased. :thumbup
