Anyone know of where to get some extra long double ring spanners with a 15 degree offset??

i`m in the uk and have only come across 3 brands which sell them:

snap on (which i want to avoid for now due to the expense)

kinchrome (not available in the uk)

Sp tools au (not available in the uk)

Their is loads of 0/45 degree offset available, seems like no one likes making 15 degree ones...had a look at toptul/elora/facom/hazet/gedore/signet/sealey/stahlwille/teng and a plethora of cheap brands to no avail :headscrat

Help!

Forever finding myself having to double up combination spanners to get the extra length and clearance to turn the bolt when doing aux belts and alignment work, spaces where a socket and ratchet just wont fit having being blessed with big hands its even harder!

I have a single 10-12mm snap on version and its a life saver on jap cars would love a set to make things easier.

something like this but longer in length, reason im after the 15 degree offset is they allow you to get better hold of bolts inside pulleys.

I have a set of these Sealey Premier AK5984 flex head ring spanners with a 3/8 square drive on the end.

They would work perfect for what you want to use them for but are infinitely configurable for so many other jobs.

Use one with a 2 inch extension and you have a super stubby small offset spanner or get an extra long 3/8 breaker bar and you have a super long small offset spanner.

With the flex head they can be used in so many different ways. Worth a look, and the set cost less than 40 quid.

new? used?
all kinds of oldies on Ebay
made by: Indestro / Duro-Chrome / Owatonna

primo stuff. lot of 'em are beat up, but I've seen some nice ones on there if you're looking for those.

mine are all the deeper offsets.


* edit: okay, I just did a quick search. don't fiddle with Owatonna - only one there. some NOS stuff in Duro-Chrome, though.

* those are the only brands I'm watching right now, btw.
