Halfords Half Moon Ratchet Spanners

Needed urgently if anyone has a set for sale. Desperate for the 17mm

Thought I'd try here before shelling out at Halfrauds

Any info as to the task might have something that might do the job as been a spanner monkey in the past...

Hi Lee,
It's to get to the top nut & bolt, of a three bolt flange, that attaches the headers to the up-pipe on a Scooby. There's no room for a spanner to get any leverage.

One side (by collector) can only be held with a short open ended spanner. The other side I used a fixed Crescent shaped spanner but the amount of movement is minimal and the angle makes it very difficult.

When I fitted the engine back into the car, at Stu's lock up, I used his Halfords Professional half moon ratchet and it was a doddle.

Not got a trade card?

Sometimes saves a fair whack!

No, don't have a trade card. Do Halfords give a trade discount? I have tried the local motor factors but none do a ratchet version like the Halfords.

Yep, you'll have to get an application form, fill it in in some manner and you'll get a card, discounts vary but some are very good!

They also do some great offers but never for what you need at the time. :roll:
