^^ SteveR, what you need is a ratcheting open ended spanner, there are quality brands available along with the cheaper ones. Buy a cheap one in the right size and cut to length to fit . I'm asking santa for a set this year.

I'd like to see it tighten a heated dried out housing bolt and not just a small flare nut and one on a spanking clean thread.....I can imagine the next thread somebody posts already....

"How do you remove nuts with rounded corners?"

Why are you so doubtful, Dags? It's a simple one-way mechanism, it loosens the teeth on one side going one direction and tightens going the other direction. The teeth are as good, if not better, than any other type of ratchet spanner, so why would it be rounding bolts?

Even if you are right, rounded bolts can be dealth with, too.

As I said I'd like to see it done before handing out the readies.

The torsion involved is way above anything they showed in the video and looking at the ratcheting tooth it looks like it would slip very easily to me. Happy to be proved wrong.

In saying that you could only use it to advance the thread and use a normal spanner for the final tightening.

I'm thinking I'll get a set... now whether to get the 3x double-ended ratcheting jobbies or the set of 10 with spanner on one end and ratcheting spanner on the other end...
