[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 1034587, member: 176256"] I first used ratchet spanners some 40 odd years ago when I was spannering on cars for a living. Horses for courses and all that but they are very useful in a lot of cases. I still have most of my tools from that time but the one I use when I'm messing with satellite dishes is a cheapo one from, I think, Aldi. It's double sized at 10mm and 13mm and has cranked ends. The other very useful thing it does is being able to reverse direction by flipping a little lever. It's really only for new or very easy spinning nuts as it's not hugely strong but that's not usually a problem as I can use stronger ordinary spanners to lean on. [/QUOTE]
