Ratchet Spanners

[Hamish]

Has anyone experienced these. 

Seem to be discounted here and on amazon with reasonable reviews on amazon.

I understand Siegen to be part of the Sealy group with Siegen being used to distribute 'low end' tools. Not saying that's a bad thing but ....

Personally, I would never trust any review on Amazon (people are paid to write good reviews) and would never buy a tool without trusting the brand or being able to check it out in person first.

I love them, a/f halfords often come up on e bay,

I think the secret is to use them to wind the nut on then use a normal spaner to finally tighten the nut 

What about open end ratchet spaner, there good

I have a set of the Siegen S0984 spanners.  They are good and I use them often.  I quite like Sealey/Siegen tools - they are a good balance between quality and price.  The eBay seller in Hamish's link is FFX Tools.  I use them quite a bit.  It's often cheaper to buy directly from their shop:

I also have a set of these open ended ratchet spanners, however they rarely come out of the tool box  I find them clumsy and they feel like they are going to round off whatever I'm trying to undo!
