I didn't know that such a spanner existed. Bunnings sell them though.
Anyone have/used a set? Not where the ring end has the ratchet, but where the ratchet is on the open end. Looking for recommendations.

Standard open ended spanners have the advantage that they don't have to be at 90 degrees to the fastener to tighten or loosen it. Not sure why you'd want a weakened, wonky ended spanner that only works in the plane.
Wouldn't mind a set of them myself,, a bit exxy though.
In the fitting world, these would prove to be very handy as you dont often need to have the spanner on an angle at all,, probably not so much in the car world.
I have a set of Snap-0n combination spanners with the ratcheting open end (snake head). They do work but the fastener head has to be undamaged and not too tight.
A quality set of ratcheting rings is much more useful.

The story of the event that led to invention of these is half-interesting.
It is along the lines of a (U.S.) guy having to bleed the brakes of his light aircraft in a remote location on a cold wet night by torchlight. He only had open enders with him apparently, no flarenut spanners on hand.
He reckoned he could do better - and did.
They work ok for running a nut up or down a thread but aren't much chop at loosening or tightening really tight stuff as the jaw flexes quite a lot. Handy to have on the odd occasion though.
If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
