Price reflects the ability of the tools, if you use them right you won't have a problem. If you want to undo anything serious you'll need the proper tool. For a backyard mechanic the cheap ratchet spanners can save a lot of time in tight spaces that you can't get a socket.

Assuming the spanners will last longer than it takes me to loose them anyway


ive had my fuller socket set for years,(10 + years) only thing wrong is the plastic case has faded :P , someone left them in a car i brought too , so freebies

Yes if you put enough force on it to damage it,
you will mark the jaws where the 2nd spanner was.

FYI - GUARANTEED FOREVER.


Lifetime guarantee is not forever.
Last for the life of the tool, i.e if it's worn out, it not warranty.
been through all that with the reps.

I'll grab a set if there's any spares - I can send a courier bag and $20?

Bunnings here is not much bigger than a dairy and the only type of fuller pro set is $70!

Figure i'll see everyone in person over the next couple of weeks anyway, so i'll sort it then. Not sure how to get them to Jimmy for free, but will figure something out.

i've found a couple more buyers... so just the 5 on the list.

Completely agree. But it doesn't say 'lifetime warranty' it says 'guaranteed forever', which I think you'll agree is well.... forever.

What motorsport are you doing in the next month or so?? I can probably pick them up from you sometime at manfield or there is a gravel sprint in levin near the end of june, 21st i think, that i'm going to otherwise we can just organise something else for me to collect them or get them sent up r something.
Wonder if anyone's heading north for queens birthday weekend.
