These Ratchet spanners are a must have at just under £15 including vat from Costco.
They may not be as good as the Halford ones as they`ve got a a swivel head but there £40. The down side is there`s no 16, 17 or 18mm

Good value.
The Halfords sets are normally £60, so I bought one recently when I saw it for £40. This was also missing an 11mm too. I know that this size is uncommon, but the idle on my Mk 2 Cav SRi was locked with an 11mm nut, so they do get used sometimes...
As always, when you don't have the tool you will need it.
Now I have it, I will probably never use my 11mm!

yep got the halfords set and particularly like the screw driver bit adaptor which is excellent for tightening things up on the hood
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

Mrs Mikey dude has got me some for X-mas.....
I noticed they are not chrome vanadium though..this is normally a must for long term wear resistance.

Lend them to your mechanic Chris..?
