Whats the difference between a spanner and a wrench ?
Pretty sure my toolbox is full of spanners.
oh, and a shifter.
In the shed I have a large shifting Spanner on a peg that fits most tow ball nuts.
Pretty sure me Disco has things like mud guards and a bonnet also !!!
Cheers I think.
The common term in America is wrench and in England is spanner.
Both names have the same purpose.
There you go, from a English as a second language member :D
Australian for beginners
spanner = mechanic
wrench = lower class English women (ducks and runs)
:p

Do me.
If you look at the two in the photo, the bottom one is left handed. Have owned it for years. I don't remember where I got it, but most likely from a second hand shop.
Until recently it has been the only Bacho shifter I have owned, and is wasn't until I got a couple more that I realized that there are LH and RH. I just assumed that Bacho made them all that way.
And this one shifter drives me nuts.
