on offer £8 set of 4

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_525205_langId_-1_categoryId_165469

That's bloody good price, not the size spanner you'd use every day on your car, but £8 reduced from £30 is good ..... none in any of my local stores though  :'(

I would hate to think what my tools have cost me over the years, full wallets of metric, AF and whitworth spanners in small and large sizes, then all the BA nut spanners etc calipers, micrometers, loads of socets and sets, full set of quality adjustables from 4" to 18", hammers, chisels, sheet metal snips all now sat in 2 3 draver chest doing nothing in the garage, then a further 3 tool boxes, plus the zillions of screwdrivers, torx and screw driver bits that get replaced every tear of so because I cant find the old ones.

Then theres all the power tools, chop saw, mitre saw, circular saw, linisher, grinder, aligator saw, sanders, biscuit cutter, drillls.

Bloody hell, I am getting a headache thinking about it, I need a lie down.....

Leave them to me in your will. please. I will put them with my plastering tools, building tools, plumbing tools, woodworking tools, gardening tools, olive farming tools. No wonder the Spanish come round here to borrow tools!!!

Got to be left to some one, it's about time I made a will and the tools are something I had given no thought at all to.

Glad I mentioned it.

Don't be put off by me living in another country. It will be easy enough for me to hire a box van (or two) to collect my booty inheritance. Car as well? Again going to an enthusiast. :y

That reads something like all mine too. On top of that, work supplies all the tools for the job too, so I now have another couple of tool boxes & a double cupboard full of the things  :-?  :-?  :-?

these sound just like the Metrinch spanners i have, designed to grip on the flats & not on the points, handy with a rounded nut but tend to be awkward to use in a limited area due to the freeplay they tend to have due to locating the nut flats (if thats make sense). ;)

I hope you're not making fun of my sexuality. If so, I'll have to report you to the admins. ::)
