Ratchet

[Anto]

dropped my ratchet in the gulf a couple weeks ago..... I'm back at home now.... I'm browsing o'er web for a decent one, I've gone thru quite a few , they are not exactly bullet proof,,, but I'm more so interested in reviews than fancy pictures of illuminous coated ratchets....
Granted, I'm not a big ratchet user, I had my last one modified to assist me with wire lashing and to use my old favourite B + P....
My spanner has prime use at most.:blink1:

Try a flat (open end) Spanner with a Ratchet instead of a 'ring' on the end.
Last a good while, versatile and cheap.

Try ebay = £16 a pop.

Used mine for years, till i retired my Spanners in March.

Cheers Jason. Ps. Retired your spanners.? Pray tell...why?

Dont buy any cheap crap as it wont last!
Leaches have really good quality ones, in fact its the only ones we buy/approve

I paid £5 for this from a market stall about 20 yrs ago it is almost indestructible.
It's even been used with a 5ft on the end for leverage to strip a yard full of racks that were up for over 10 years.

No doubt some prick will say my spanners have had an easy life

Your spanners must have had an easy life swiftly

 

[SWIFTY]

Told you.

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

You knew I wouldn't let you down mate didn't you?

 

[SWIFTY]

True to form as always Fred.

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

I am amazed you have kept it. Sentimental value or you going to take it to the antiques roadshow?

 

[SWIFTY]

It's a good weapon.

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

It's a good weapon.

Obviously keeping it to use in the upcoming scaffolding civil war.
That's what I like about you swiftly you are thinking all the time

 

[SWIFTY]

It can fatally pierce a hi viz from 10 metres.

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

What about a thick skin?
