Draper Expert 12 Piece HI-TORQ Combination Spanner Set - 64605 - Metric 8-22mm Fully Polished Tool Kit

Brilliant set of spanners.The offset ring end means you have better grip of the spanner.

A very comprehensive, good quality set at a very reasonable price, seeing as how offset ring spanners are so expensive generally.The plastic rack mounting lets it down. The spanners come out of it too easily and are easily accidentally dislodged. There are some quite big spanners in the set and the the rack makes the whole thing too bulky for the average toolbox and, even if you could fit it in, you will probably end up with the spanners swilling about all over the place anyway. The rack is really only suitable for wall mounting, not for carrying them about in securely.I've had to buy a suitable tool roll for them and this helps protect them, makes the set portable, more compact and fits in the tool box.So I've awarded 4* not 5, but there is nothing the matter with the actual spanners.

I bought these spanners as I am currently clearing out an accumulation of around 40 years of tools and need to get rid of the old and in with the new, flayed knuckles are not an attractive sight!!I bought these on a recommendation from a car magazine review, (can't recall what one) but I have to say that I am a bit disappointed with them. Not as swan neck ring spanners, they will do the job required of them but the finish on the chrome is far from perfect. They have a number of pits and pockmarks on the chrome work, the chances are that in time they will start to peel from these areas possibly presenting razor sharp slivers of chrome.I have been very selective about the tools that I have been buying to replace my old well worn ones, paying a little bit extra to ensure that I am buying high quality tools, unfortunately this set has disappointed especially as it was not the cheapest set available my a margin, coming from such an established outfit as Draper these spanners do not represent great value.

These are similar in quality to the Halfords Pro Spanner set and will certainly satisfy the needs of any user, DIY or professional.This set is simlarly priced to the Halfords equivalent and have the advantage of the 16mm and 22mm being included in the set.Autoexpress gave this set a Best Buy rating in March this year. Autoexpress as ever, quote the purchase price at a price I can never seem to find.Amazon, at the time of purchase, was the cheapest I found with the delivery cost taken into account.Like most of the Expert range from Draper, you can't go wrong.

Yeah, I bought more expensive ones, but not using them. This ones are light, thin, and of very good quality for their price.Very productive, they don't weigh me down uselessly as the other ones ( but I don't use them for very heavy jobs, I must point out). Sometimes more is not better.

I purchased this set of metric end wrenches for some small projects around the house and on my bicycle. It's a nice set of wrenches, good quality and I like the finish. However, if I would have know that they had such a deep offset on the box side I probably wouldn't have bought them. Also the carrying rack is pretty cheap and doesn't look like it will hold up long. Otherwise they are ok, they seem to fit on the heads of the nuts and bolts fine so far.

Cannot argue at the value for money. (I don't think I bought them for the price they are now advertised at)I bought these as a back up set to my main toolset, also to take 2 or 3 on my motorcycle for a small toolkit.Seems good quality. Happy with what I got for the money I paid. (Edited to say that they have jumped up in price since I bought them)

I bought this set plus the (missing) 18mm and a 24mm (items 67701 & 67706, also reviewed).The spanners in this set are of a slightly different design, being partially offset and unfortunately not quite as high a quality.Nevertheless, a good set for the price.
