I was never intending to buy ratchet spanners, just a great set of normal ones, I dont really like them either.

I'm hoping that someone else that actually knows will answer this for you as I will have to go and read it all from a book, but if your still stuck tomorrow night let me know... While the book is great, I also dont want to give you bad info, in case I read something wrong or other misinterpretation...

Quote: Kind of offtopic, but when is it EVER suitable to use a shifter? I've used cheap $20 shifters and they were crap, so I bought a $120 one, and still crap. Its like they were made to round off bolts rather than undo them... Yeah I hate them and avoid them at all costs, but I dont have a 14mm and was working on some crappy fittings so didnt care...

Yeah I'm with you pepper, I hate cheap tools, I'm young if I buy good stuff now it will last me all my life, just so long as I look after it. Things like spanners are good no matter what they are until they break or bend, but a nice screw driver handle is so much nicer on the hands after a days work, rather than a cheap set... stuff like that just makes the difference and I think leads to better quality work because your hands arnt (as) stuffed when your in a rush and just want to get whatever it is back together and get some quality ralaxin time with the missus  or whatever.... EDIT: I have also had a bit of tiny metal get stuck in my hand when using a cheap shifter, that pissed me off big time...

I find that the cheap ones tend to bend the spanners open before they snap which leads to wear on the bolts, and cheap phillips head screw drivers tend to be too pointy and dont sit in the head properly so lead to round out heads...
I'm in the position of buying new stuff at the moment as the set that mum bought me for x-mass years ago are getting past there date because they are cheap, I was going to price snap on and then compare it to kingchrome, but will probably buy the snap on in sets as I need it...
