G'day

Many thanks to everyone who responded.

I already have an account with Amazon and have purchased a set of seven
GearWrench spanners through them for Aus$52 landed in Australia which is
very good value. That's about US$57.

They also have an SAE set:

PT4/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_img_b

However, these don't have the lever for switching directions (you have to
flip the wrench over).  I think the ability to 
switch directions easily is worth the extra money.  For instance, to remove
a rusted-on or partly stripped nut it often 
helps to go back-and-forth, and removing, flipping and re-applying the
wrench is extra hassle.
