    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

    I'll stick with me spanners thanks.
    I think those "I love NY" T shirts are stupid.

    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.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Hi Robert , over in the uk. a shifter is someone who move your household stuff when you move ! What's called a shifter here , is called an Adjustable spanner over there , I think a Wrench is a Yank term !.. cheers jimr1
