$375 from Bunnings?! Crikey that's an expensive set of wrenches.
Thanks.
Yes they are expensive, but have great features over others.
great features? lol

4:30-6:30, 2 features that my Sidchrome, Kincrome etc do not have.
Downside is they are not 5 degree or Flexhead.
@askme69: 12 point has been around forever. Some argue it's a negative is it weakens the spanner head and can round off nuts.
The nut holding trick is cute, but no doubt it would cause me to trap the spanner behind the nut or bolt head one day. In the situation he was describing just put tape on there to hold the nut. Magnets work too.
Nice spanners, but not nice enough for $375.
@askme69: You know what, there's something to be said for a solid quality set of tools. I don't do anything that'd justify the cost, but I can imagine if you're a professional, or have a solid hobby that uses these, that a set of good tools you can rely on and can enjoy using would be worth their price.
And I think it's more than the features - it's the quality that's maintained while adding these features that probably cause/justify the price. It becomes exponentially more expensive (and corresponding more valuable) to add features and complexity while staying at a level of quality that lets them offer a lifetime warranty.
Basically - not my cup of tea, but I can see why it might be someone's.
Could you please elaborate? I'd love to know what these great features are.
The only thing great I've seen so far is the price!
Thanks.
