Buying spanners - Page 2

It wouldn't suprise me if my mate telling me that the Japanese version of Snap-on is Blue Point is incorrect, but if they are the premium range they shouldn't be cheaper.

thanks for all the advice guys. I didnt realise spanner sets were so expensive so I ended up buying a 8mm and 10mm open ended/ring spanners (the two that I needed for the job) made by sidchrome.

I don't know much about car mechanics so i couldnt really justify spending $100+ on a set of spanners I would only use occasionally but the advice you guys gave helped a lot when I was choosing beteen brands

i know for sure blue point impact wrenches are 2-3 times the price of others, it may only be those that are more expensive
