What exactly are spanners?I thought spanners were a sort of adjustable wrench.Those posted above in the plastic roll up seem to be like spark plug wrenches.Please explain this for me.
Thanks

That's a question 
Jonnesway seems to be cool, even that metal-on-plastic thread on my new micro bit holder looks strange. And I don't know anything about Magg.

Jonnesway is a generic brand from Taiwan. I've seen them at Fastenal before.
The "spanners" in that roll were the prototypical shape of spark-plug wrenches, and they're called either box or tube wrenches. Not very common here, I suppose.
Alrighty then. In British English, an adjustable spanner is what we would here would call an adjustable wrench. They're the same thing. American english calls something entirely different a spanner. The little flat tools with pins or tabs to catch onto something and turn it. Now that would be a "pin" or "hook" spanner to those using BE.
See this page for a bit more info on various wrench types and stuff.

@Jure, very nice old Knipex and Unior wrenches, look strong !
Wera and Wiha are very good brands, whatever you buy, you can't go wrong. I own different tools from both. Concerning regular drivers or driver handle/switchable blades, i'll tell you i'm not a big fan of the last ones, i would recommand them for motorcycles cases or similar but not for a serious wrenching. Also, a regular drivers set, let's say 8-10 drivers (flat tips/philips/pozidriv) is not so expensive and probably more efficient.
You can do a search on GJ about drivers, you'll find many online sources with affordable prices.
ps : iirc there's a Bauhaus in Split, have you already been there ?

Hi! I think this depends on what you want to do with it. If you carry your stuff a lot, you might be right by choosing one of these (less weight than with a whole set of regular screwdrivers). So in this case they might be better. Otherwise you might prefer regular screwrivers. Personaly I think the Wera handle could be a bit bigger and it's no fun to use it with PH/PZ2 (or bigger) screws. On the other hand it's nice to use in small places with less space like mounting a drawer in a cabinet for instance.
The advantage of the Wera in my opinion is, that you can also use standard bits (short) with it as well as bits from other manufacturers. I don't know about the Wiha System but I doubt that you get these blades from other third-party vendors. Same with the linked Wera. The more proprietary, the less flexibility.
found some Belzer pliers they are made in germany,and info about that brand?? some unknown **** or?

the mini bit ratchet came in handy...
...here too...
PB ratcheting screwdriver
Acesa ratchet with Koken socket

Promat/Wiha scraper
Nice tools bro
never heard of that brand thats why i was asking
i guess yes - or 12.000 Volt
Nice Yellow Jacket
The guy with the brown van rang at my door this week...
Congratulation! nice Hazet socket
I owned a Wiha driver and haved a good experienced with Wiha Telescopic screwdriver, very good multi blade screwdriver u can adjust a blade length.. Im working as a plant maintenance, It very easy to carry out anyway
but i dont know about Wera..for Wiha u can buy them separately Telescopic Handle and a screwdriver blade + u can choose a variable tips combination
Of cause a regular/standard screwdrivers are better
u get a good balance, more solid/ construction, and more power for twisting a screws.But for regular and light duty jobs a multi blade screwdriver is a good enough Btw : It depend to ur jobs

@Jure: Belzer is not sh1t at all, actually if you're lucky enough to find an old belzer plier, don't mess : buy it
So, Bauhaus is opening soon ? That's a very good news
@Mrtools : Thank you buddy
@Monte : Very nice pics, as usual. After looking them i realised how much i do need to buy those mini 1/4 ratchets
Btw does your friend plans to stick a new vinyl roof or just paint it ?

Jure, this is a round nose pliers. Knipex sell some similar products : http://www.knipex.com/index.php?id=1216&L=1&page=group_detail&parentID=1336&groupID=1343
Your Belzer are very nice pliers, old German quality, i like those translucide handles. Don't know the age, maybe 20y/old. Ask Monte, he knows for sure.

I think a few pliers(Inomic) are still German made but the rest are Swiss or Vietnamese.
All mine are Swiss Made.

I made some pictures of my father's secret room As you can see, he is an electrician. For the first time I took closer look at his tools and I was very surprised - so many West Germany tools, mostly Knipex, some pieces 30yrs and more old... I didn't know that it was possible to buy these fine tools here during the times of communism and cold war...
(This is really only very small part of all his equipment)
His very favourite tool
Old Knipex
Osciloscope, I think...
Handmade power supply
Schuller cutter
One of hundred...
Both old knipex, two of tens
And the ugliest thing I found there, old slovakia power tester

It was the East German tools that were harder to get hold of, West Germany was part of Nato

@Jure: And it is I'll take many more pictures next visit.
@demographic: Maybe in GB, but don't forget that Czechoslovakia was part of the eastern block for more than 40 years...
btw, anybody knows some details about that Kaise 987 multimeter? I can't find any info, there are no pictures available, no specs, simply nothing.

yes those mini bit ratchet come in handy sometimes
if you finally have one even more often
yes a new roof. We had to remove it because there was rust underneath the vinyl roof. klick
very nice ! I bet they would sell on GJ too
it´s older i guess so maybe thats why there is no info. You could contact the manufacturer: www.kaise.com
ps: nice secret room

i dunno how old it is, they look all the same since like 50 years.
"Corona" is latin for "crown". Maybe because it´s the king of wrenches
so they choosed the name . "Corona" is a beer brand too, so maybe they´re just fans of the beer ps: nice Refco set !
