TengTT1236 12 Piece Metric Combination Spanner Set

I have other Teng bits and bobs, I am slowly accumulating everything I need rather than alerting the household financial controller by purchasing a full kit.The Spanners are Teng, the finish is excellent, a nice matte affair.The size range is very good and the 12 point rings work just fine, no doubts on strength or durability.I like the angle you get with the rings which does make things easier where you maybe have to reach or need some leverage, this aspect really does help.I have used these for around four weeks now with no issues at all other than other people constantly loaning them, which is fine till one goes missing...As other reviewers have said the inner box is a grey plastic divider, which works, but I have some concerns over its durability, am sure in time it will become cracked and flimsy which is a shame.However, the outer case is the usual Teng standard Red, nice and solid, you can take the lid off if you have a chest with trays, Ive kept mine on as as I said they are always being loaned and it's easier to hand someone the box and expect the full box back than asking for your colleagues to be stripped searched to look for your 17mm.I already knew what to expect on the inner tray from other reviews so I cannot mark this down, I just wish it were a moulded plastic or even metal and rubber lined insert.You cannot have everything at such a good price point.Spanners that work, in the seductive red Teng box, and they also come with a spanner sticker to help you remember which drawer you have them in,Five Stars.

Tenges have a good reputation. I have used the same spanners for 50 years and been able to do most jobs over that time. But lately I have found modern cars use far more even numbered sizes instead of the 13, 15, 17, 19 sizes that cars and spanner sets used to be in. So I decided it was time to buy a quality set that included even numbers as well. This Teng set contains a good range of spanners at a competitive price when compared to other quality manufacturers. I fitted foam inside the lid as the rattling of the spanners inside the plastic case annoyed me. So far the case has done its job. I have used the spanners changing various suspension components on a car that has done 90k+ and was pleased with their performance. They are not the shiniest spanners I have ever seen but they feel strong and fit securely so I am pleased with my purchase.

Good set of spanners but I was surprised that it really was difficult to justify the difference over a set of spanners costing a third the price. I thought they were a little on the thin side and the case is cheap and isn't going to last more than ten minutes. I can't really say I would recommend them over a cheap set. There must be a set in the middle price band that is as good as these.

Nicely made, and with no significant drawbacks. I'd say they were slightly light, which helps a bit with control, and the frosted texture makes them grippy. The plastic case isn't the best, but at the price, who cares? They're a good sweet spot, clearly superior to budget wrenches - nicely made of high quality steel - but without the nonsense factor of some of the very expensive options.Unless you've really got some special requirement, these are a solid choice for most purposes.

Another good example of why Teng is my preferred hand tool manufacturer. These spanners feel well made and are extremely tough. They’re comfortable in the hand and are reassuringly well weighted. My only criticism is that there is some very minor surface rust is appearing on them - that being said i was working on my car outside in the rain (great fun..) when they got wet so I accept partial blame for the the surface rust appearing in the first instance. Looking back I should of bought their full range of spanners as I’m always looking for the larger sizes. Nevertheless I’m happy with this product and would highly recommend them to anyone.
