    Neon Spanners

    I've seen a few 'Neon' spanners at the trash & treasure markets and was wondering who produced them.

    A quick Google threw up Nissan & Toyota so were they a company supplying tools for Japanese car tool kits ? They look very similar in style & finish to Toyota & Nissan spanners I've seen in the past.

    There is a good reason why you find these at trash and treasure or chucked in a bucket/shelf in peoples sheds and that is because most people wouldn't dream of actually using these things

    At the weekend they were in with Sidcrome, Britool, King Dick and a few others so just interested in where they are made.
    Looked like the sort of spanner you would have in the car, OK in an emergency, not something you'd use every day and if they got stolen it would be no big loss. Just what I need for a Series Land Rover tool kit except they only seemed to be in Metric.
    As I mentioned earlier, they look almost identical to Toyota & Nissan spanners and were listed as Toyota or Nissan spanners on Ebay. So Japanese company manufacturing for the Japanese auto industry ?
