RAC Ratchet spanners ?

Argos have a half price deal on a set of RAC ratchet spanners, great price if they are any good at £14.99.

Anyone got a set ?

at that price its worth buying them just to find out. When I'm using them I always crack the nut/bolt off with a conventional spanner and use the ratchet to wind them in or out.

good price although a 15 mm instead of 14 mm spanner as well 11 mm instead of 12 would have been more useful.

i bought a get from halfords, its there pro range which means that they have a lifetime garantee so if u brake one u just take it back and they give u a new one and they have all the propper sizes 8,10,12,13,14,15,17 and 19
not cheap but the lifetime garantee is worth it, i belive that spending a bit more on a good set will pay for its self

the flex head on the halfords ones is worth the extra money on its own. the more useful sizes is an added bonus.

Sent the housekeeper down to argos this morning, spanners are ok and at that price it was rude not to.

Deffinatly not as good as the Halfords Pro range set i have, as said earlier the lifetime guaruntee is worth the £34 i paid some years back (2003 i think)
