For emergency backup and/or very occasional use, they look like a bargain. Thumbs Up

Dont look too bad.
I've got 2 sets. Got a Halfords Pro set, which run from 8mm up to 19mm, I've bought a 20/21/22/24 to go with those.

I've also got a second set of spanners which I got cheap on ebay. £30 delivered. Think they are made by Silverlinc, either way, they run from 6mm to 32mm, And only have 1 size missing, which is the 23mm.
Awesome set for the money!

This guys feedback...

https://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=macnabsty&ftab=FeedbackLeftForOthers

...links straight to the test auction. He received the spanners too and Argos have also left him positive feedback.

Worth a shot, worst they can do is cancel the order.

Maybe they sell 7 and 7.5mm spanners too Laughing
(it may even be a crappy part of the anti-theft as not everyone has them, like them star things you need to change ignition switches).
