I think the first spanners i bought were King Dick, i've got a few where the ring end has been ground down. Facom spanners aren't to bad, i don't think you can beat Snap-on spanners.
Facom "aren't too bad"! You're having a laugh, right? They're as good as the best in the world. You'll hope so when you see the prices. They are *eye wateringly* expensive. So too are Snap On. Sure, they're good, but the buyers are generally pro mechanics who set up a payment plan on the never-never. I know a couple of home mechanics with Snap On setups, they tend to belong to people with a collector car, a heated and carpeted garage, and they get used a couple of times a year for a bit of light maintenance before being cleaned and put away. That's fine, but there's a whole range of tools that will be just as good at a fraction of the price of you want a tool for the job rather than a piece of garage jewellery. Not that there's anything wrong with collecting garage jewellery if that's your thing, I 'd rather like the shiny fitted garage look but I don't want to invest north of £10k on it and I'd still fill it up with half dismantled bikes.I think the first spanners i bought were King Dick, i've got a few where the ring end has been ground down.

Yes great idea, this is how i bought 2 of my sets, quite a few of them have been replaced now because of chrome falling off and a few breakages.
Chinese would have no 4, 14 etcPerhaps it’s like planes with no row 13, hotels with no room 13, apartment blocks with no 13th floor. Maybe the socket is marked 12A.
You wouldn't go wrong with any of those. They're nice to use and you won't wear them out unless you are a 40-hour-a-week car mechanic wanting to use them every day for 20 years.
