surprisingly heavy and solid as I was expecting low quality for some reason due to the low price. Not a definitive set of spanners but it covers the usual suspects so to speak. Arrived well packaged and vac sealed. Comes with its own plastic rack to keep them in one place.
I can’t resist a bargain, and a set of 5 ratchet spanners for a bit over 11 is great value for me. I’ve got a set of Halfords “Professional” ratchet spanners, and these are much the same to look at and use, though without the lifetime guarantee and perhaps without the same quality internals, but for less than 2 per spanner, I’m not expecting Snap-On quality.
I think it’s a great little set and a great buy, though I think the sizes are chosen to leave you wanting a larger set. But for value for money, this 5-piece set is tough to beat! Recommended!
I used the spammers whilst dining some car repairs. They were just what was needed to tackle some nuts with restricted access. The ratchets have a positive smooth mechanism and work well.
I don’t expect to use them very often, I have a socket set for majority of work but I’m confident that when called upon they will do a good job for me. They were certainly good value compared to available alternatives. They come in a holder which is a nice useful little extra.
Covers a good range of sizes. The quality seems decent for the price. the ratcheting is good for everyday tasks but if you need something more precise then you nay need to spend a bit more
Pros. Good ratchet and strong.
Easy to use
Handy storage holder included

Cons. Maybe not as tough as the premium brands but look at the price.
Have been using for a while now and for the price they are good for hobbyist, if you were a professional user not sure if they would be robust enough.

The wrenches are actually good quality and should be adequate for the casual handyman task… however this is where I personally have an issue (and hence the dropped star) with this set in that the interval between the largest two wrenches (14mm & 17mm) misses some common sizes. That’s my fault though as it is spelt out in the description. Just know what you are likely to need.
The packaging and presentation are perfectly adequate. I’m not a huge fan of the plastic caddy. It may be fairly durable but I hope it’s recyclable. It can be attached to a wall if that’s your thing.
