Dude, he's asking for ratchet spanners.


I would go Teng TT6508RF or draper expert 07036.


Don't go for the cheap ones, they are a fragile... with a coarse ratchet action that's no good and tend to be bulky.

You can get snapon or Mac as individual spanners.
So if it's for a specific task you could get the cheapest but quality option and supplements.
One of the younger tec s at work done that.
10,12mm.

Facom, a set of the typical sizes for a Japanese bike is about £80 +/- a bit.

Edit: Forgot to say; I have some Wera electrical screwdrivers which are excellent quality, I have no experience of their other tools.

I think most people have a version of this on here. I've had mine for 5+ years and shows no sign of wear.
