I went into Maplin on Tottenham Court Road the other day for something and on my way round I spotted these stubby spanners. They had a pretty good quality feel about them and the jaws seemed very parallel so I got them - for £6.99

Used them a few times and they haven't stretched or even seemed like they might. I'm going to put them in my bike toolkit.

Nice, and if extra leverage is required just hook another spanner on the end through ring! I'm always having the problem of finding tools suitable in size to take on the bike, good find Thumbs Up

Cheap and cheerful, aye, yet appear supremely worthy of any excogitative, fettling-fond tool fetishist's caressing. Thumbs Up

Yup!, that's why they're called rings.
Coz by the time that you'll have accumulated enough leverage they'll have formed a circle!

Which would rather throw a spanner into the works, wot?

There are similar sets on Ebay for around the same price, nice little tool set for putting under the seat if you have enough space! Thumbs Up
