WELCOME MARRA SOME MIGHT SAY RATCHETS ARE FOR GIRLS AND SOME MIGHT SAYS YA DAFT IT YA DNT GET YAN BUT I AINT BUYING ANOTHER THE THEIVING CANTS LOL :laugh:

I use the old Flat Spanner (Open Ender)/Ring end with a Ratchet combo.

Swear by them. :idea:
 
I like the look of the flat spanner combo! How much are they? Only thing is it doesn't look like its built to last??
 
Peanuts mate.
Like £10 on eBay.

Ive been known to do up a fitting or 3 a day, sometimes and ive had mine years.

Well worth it. ;)
 
ive had some funny looks when people see u dont have a spanner , ratchets all the way , might even get an impact wrench or what others call a fuckin drill
 
Hmm? No Spanner at all???
Not even to hammer nails in with? :p
 
I have a 22mm ratchet , because cloggies cant use proper spanners so kinda got use to one.
In the English world i would go for a flush alloy one. R.R.P £45.00 ish. Hope that helps. O and a full Titanium spanner helps with the wrist.
 
All Titanium Big Ben Spanner is the nuts.
Ive got one of those little sparklers myself. :cool:
 
superclick gogle TS GRUBB about half the price of certain scaffolding tool specialists.they only sell ratchets but all the very best quality from alloy to long podger in various sizes.
i generally carry a a short flush alloy,with 21mm and 17mm,the 17mm works on unistrut if you ever have to shift a wee bit from or the odd light :eek:
 
i spent £60 on a titanium a few years ago and it turned out to be rubbish , looked great as well , it was red and silver
 
Ratchets are for winners. Why not carry one on ya belt for when ya can't get in with a swing over. No brainer in my eyes

So you do use one
 
"ratchets are for winners" sounded as if it was said by charlie sheen , lol im off to you tube to listen to his song about winning
 
Had one for years, other scaffs say "fcuk that, im not paying that for a spanner". Then you hear them moaning all day that there wrists hurt. ha ha, tight arses. The lighter the better ay?
