I love my teng tools stuff, it's well made, precise and tough, really all you need. And it looks and feels nice too, nice grippy surface, even covered with oil they still grip. toolshack usually have pretty decent prices.

Echo the above, Teng is good stuff. Watch for carp on Ebay though.
I wouldn't buy them for day to day use, they don't carry much torque reliably. They're useful for awkward spots with not much access, but I wouldn't use them for initial loosening or final tightening - like any ratchet it's a potentially weak spot.

On the subject of ring spanners, the Halfords ratchet rings are excellent and Halfords are, once again, selling them about half price as they seem to do on a periodic basis. Failing that, I have a Britool set (RRFJMSET12) which seem fine.
