King Dick Metric Combination Spanners

King Dick Metric Combination SpannersKing Dick started making tools back in 1856. They are now, to my knowledge, the only remaining UK manufacturer of standard use spanners left. It's not until you start to break cheap spanners that you start to appreciate good quality tools. They last a lifetime and are less likely to damage bolt heads, especially the stubborn ones when you are applying a "little" more force. My set built by up by buying one King Dick Spanner a month . but I'm sad like

Cantilevered Toolbox

Apparently the origin of painting axe handles was to allow lumberjacks to mark their own axes whilst out in the forest

It has a fairly rough texture and might scratch polished surfaces

It could hold the right mix of tools for a job - it was the Goldilocks size and even fit perfectly flat in a modern tool cabinet draw

Or you can attach the large hook to hang the light

If you are looking for a good quality slotted screwdriver you can find one here
