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.

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.
