Silverline 282547 Flexible Head Ratchet Spanner 8 mm

Nice solid replacement with a bolt instead of a pin, ideal for me to replace a broken lexivon 18mm flex head ratchet that I broken after hammering on it to break free some very uncooperative bolts torqued to what felt like 1000nM on my friends vauxhall astra. Affordable and solid, the head doesn't flop about and has some resistance which is better so you can wrench on something without having to use your other hand to support the head to keep it from flopping off the fastener.

I purchased this small 10mm ratchet spanner to speed up the tightening of 6mm earthing bolts, as I use a lot of 6mm bolts, nuts, flat washers and locking washers to earth all manner of electrical equipment. Due to the awkward position of these bolts and the fact that they usually have crimped earthing rings attached to them you usually spend too much time tightening the bolts, especially with 2 open ended spanners. I have meant to buy one of these spanners for a considerable length of time and have eventually done the deed as it were. I can only say that I should have done it a long time ago because this spanner has saved me a lot of time since I have been using it. Tightening up the earthing bolts has never been so easy or as fast, I tighten the bolt or nut with this ratchet spanner until it starts to get tight then turn it round as I don't want to over tighten with the ratchet as I want to preserve the life of the ratchet end. The flexible head also allows you to be able to use the spanner in very restricted positions and adds to the versatility of this tool. This is a good quality tool when considering the price I paid for it and the benefits in respect of the time I save when using it, highly recommended for anyone in the market for a 10mm flexible head ratchet spanner. Update: Since I have started using this spanner on a regular basis I have noticed that other makes of the same type and size of spanner are much thicker around the ratchet head, as I borrowed one of these spanners when I mislaid mine one day and found that the thicker ring size can restrict access to awkwardly positioned nuts and bolts, especially when the nut or bolt is horizontally situated close to a vertical bulkhead.

We’re good

Quality item. Reasonably heavy with a good ratchet. Size (27mm) is perfect for my tricky oil filter removal.

If like me you have a Landrover Freelander 2 and want to do an oil change yourself, the easiest way to remove the filter cartridge is to buy one of these ratchet spanners. It worked well and was easy to use. Unfortunately it will be another year or so before i can use it again, but beats the cost of putting it into the local garage, so overall a good product, would recommend

Great tool

Whilst trying to fit flexible tap hoses to bath taps in an extremely confined space, I was unable to use even the smallest of wrenches to tighten the fittings. That was until I got one of these - what a life saver. Although the spanner is quite bulky, I was able to slide the hoses through the ratchet-end of the spanner and tighten the nuts one ratchet notch at a time. The swivel head also helped greatly. The spanner is of good quality, especially for the price, and feels very sturdy. I can't imagine I'll use it too often but it is definitely a very useful tool to have available.

Solid good quality product Got the nut off in no time Happy with the price I paid

Fonctionne très bien

ratschenschlüssel super ok

Das Teil hat meinem Mann beim Montieren von Waschbecken super Dienste geleistet, das wäre ansonsten in fiese Friemelei ausgeartet. Ganz hervorragend für schwer zugängliche Schrauben!!!

Alles super.

Outil de bonne facture , je m'en sert tous les jours et RAS pour l'instant.
