Our car is due its 80k miles service soon which includes a Haldex service so I need a Haldex oil filter wrench. £12 from eBay.
Also bought some Facom ratchet spanners, well one spanner with interchangeable bits. I've already got ratchet spanners but the Facom are six point as opposed to twelve so that was my excuse for buying.

I bought a set of ratchet spanners about 5 years. Looked great.
Only ever used them once

Torque screwdriver.
1 x Red Torquemaster Standard: (8 ozf in - 36 lbf-in) (600 gmf cm - 40 kgf cm) (6 - 406 c N m).
1 x Red Torquemaster Standard: 8 oz-in to 36 lb-in. Left & Right Hand
1 x Green Torquemaster Minor: 3 oz-in to 12 lb-in.
I like the way they have a 1/4" square drive socket in the handle as well.
Think you likely got a great deal there.
Not for everyday use but some pushbikes have some pretty small bolts into aluminium and the usual technique of turn it til the thread strips then back off a quarter turn isn't the best idea.

Why the 90 degree bend in the wrench?
And what keeps the inserts in the spanner when in use?

It's almost impossible to reach the haldex filter with a normal wrench, it's tucked behind various other chassis parts

Once every 40k miles so I can’t imagine I’ll use it more than once. Saying that it’s debatable I’ll even use the once.
Think it’s because access to the filter is restricted.
Kind of resistance fit.cheb wrote: And what keeps the inserts in the spanner when in use?

You can wiggle it in with fingers but no way are you tightening it wo a spanner

May be of interest. Just been to Screwfix and they have an offer on Makita impact driver + drill + 2 × 18v Li-ion batteries for £180 (£40 off).
Almost worth me getting it just for the 2 batts and driver. But I resisted.

46mm combination spanner for the Speed Triple's rear wheel nut. Might be able to get it off now.

The spanner is 50cm long and I have rather strong hands according to my physio, I did not break the strength gauge, but I did put the numbers higher than she has ever seen them go....Cousin Jack wrote: Tue Nov 30, 2021 9:52 amShould have bought a 46mm socket.the_priest wrote: Tue Nov 30, 2021 9:23 am 46mm combination spanner for the Speed Triple's rear wheel nut.

I will probably get a socket too, but the spanner was £8 delivered off Ebay.
