Aldi special this week

Discussion in 'Australian Motorcycles' started by George W Frost, Mar 22, 2010.

  1. Before you say the obvious, this is not an ad or spam, just trying to pass
    on some information that someone might find useful
    I do not work for Aldi or anyone else but,
    Aldi have these ratchet spanners this week
    they look okay, I have a set of double ended ratchet ring spanners, but I
    will be looking at these for more additions to the shed and also handy for
    the glove box or panniers

    One of the hardware chains had something similar
    - where is the 12mm (most used) spanner ?

    I've got four double-ended ring spanners with ratchet. The only
    complaint I have with the is that they are a little fat on the ends
    and can be hard to get into a lot of places.

    I tried a set once but they only went one way so I could only undo bolts
    with them. Buggered if I was going to buy a reverse set for doing bolts
    back up again.

    At this point I'll mention my favourite pusher www.transquip.com.au

    they have regular member's specials on things like good quality
    ratchet spanners.

    Pity, have'nt bought anything from Bunnings since Westfarmers took
    over and cancelled every account that did not spend $500 per month.

    oh FFS.. I just used that for an example..first link on google, $75 at
    you local tool place

    you can have your cheap shit that will leave missing sizes and
    probable be useless in 12months of use


    and I'll have me, I am quite happy to buy a cheap tool for one ot 2
    uses, but for something I use every time I work on the bike, I rather
    pay the 33% extra

    They all have different uses, the ones that have 12 spanners in three
    handles are very thick between faces but will fit in recesses like
    sockets, the others will fit in places where there is not much room
    above the end of the bolt or nut. I would like both sets when I win the
    lottery.
