King **** is here!

[spv]

On my recent tool binge I pulled the trigger and purchased some King **** flare nut spanners. These spanners are made in England. The heads on the spanners are extremely thick. I assume this is to stop them opening up under load? They have a nice finish and look well made. The only strange thing is that in this set there is a 9x11 and an 11x12. No 10mm for some reason? Enjoy the photos and share your (pure) thoughts!

PS: More different brand tools to come...

Hahaha. You said ****.

Seriously, never heard of that brand. They look to be very SO-like. What's their rep over there and how are they priced?

And welcome aboard!

I need a set of these. If not for use, they would make a great novelty item!

^^What he said^^. Not only that, there's no 14 and the 11 and 12 are duplicated on 2 different wrenches. Strange...

I would be willing to bet that one of the 11's is really a "KING ****" 10!

FWIW, just because it says "England" on the wrench, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's manufactured in England.

What do you mean?

 

[bobadame]

Does it say made in England? Or to put it another way, do some Harbor Freight pipe wrenches say Pittsburgh on one side and China on the other? Yupp they do. I used to buy Great Neck wrenches. I think they could have sold twice as many if they were called Great Head instead.

In this case it's true. King **** is now the only wrench manufacturer left in England.

14 is on the other end of the 13

Oh yeah, I see that now. Also, there's no duplicate 12 like I previously thought. My aging eyes must have been playing tricks on me.

I bet that 11 on the 9-11 wrench is a 10

You think someone at King **** dicked up royally?? If so, I''ll bet it happened on the knight shift.
