[Healeys] Ratchet Spanners

[Peter & Veronica]

Hi Patrick

I bought a set of 4 Imperial 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", Crescent brand, from 
either Trade Tools Direct or Glenfords a couple of years ago. They were 
around $60 as I recall. Good quality, quite fine around the ratchet end (not 
bulky like some of the cheapo fabricated ones) My most used spanners 
(wrenches!)

Cheers

Peter

There are several types.  Some have ratchets on both ends, but I prefer the 
ratchet/box end type.  Also, you want the
ones with the lever to switch directions (without the lever you have to turn 
the wrench over to reverse).

These wrenches are very handy.  I have a set of the Sears (Craftsmen), and 
the half-inch that fits the nuts on my HD8s'
air filters is worth the price.
