Citroen XM Forum

I don't know if THESE are of any use to help out with your current spanner-ing jobs you may be encountering to help speed the job up ?

That's if a normal socket can't get in due to access and a normal ring or open ended spanner is taking an eternity to undo or tighten !

The only down side they state that there "chrome-plated and polished" rather than being "Chrome-Vanadium" but I suppose for £12.99 what can you expect, even if it there only used for few times to get you out the pooh

I have two sets of ratchet spanners and don't use them often but when needed for use in tight spaces they are invaluable.

Cheers Richard, they will soon be mine

I've only got a 12mm (OK, don't snigger lol!) and that cost me a fiver so... I am going to Aldi on Thursday

I got a set for Christmas, and they are excellent. It makes life so much handy when working in those hard to reach places in XMs.

I bought a set of these (made in China - but what isn't these days?). They have 5 degree ratchets - useful for tight spots and will be perfectly adequate for my occasional spanner monkeying.
