Wera Joker spanners (And general tool thread.)
Has anyone had a set or used these?

They look good, but like Snap On come at a helfty price tag!

I suppose you get what you pay for though and don't replace every five minutes if at all.
They seem to preform pretty well.

I very much like Wera for Drill bit holders and VDE screwdrivers.

Been looking at a set of these for a long time now but omg how expensive are they Shocked I love Wera tools well made reliable and solid, just can't bring myself to spend the money for a set of these.

I know, last a lifetime though I'd have thought. Not sure how they compare with Snap on cost wise?
They definitely seem very good though, especially the issues you can get that are very annoying. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Now I have to admit that they do look very good, but I've managed all these years without them Whistle

You wont beat the quality of these and the ratchet combination spanners are a dream to use. Not cheap but will last you a lifetime. The have stood the test of time in arduous conditions with my work. Totally recommended. They will certainly tighten your nuts Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter 2015 HT XS 90

I have the 10,13,17 and 19mm roll - the most common sizes and they are excellent spanners Thumbs Up

I can vouch for them too.
I've got a 10mm and 13mm, the 10mm is my "go to" spanner at work, it's put up with a lot of abuse. 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

I've used Halfords Pro stuff for years (it's now branded Halfords Advanced). Frankly very nearly as good as snap-on, some of the snap-on spanners are very slightly slimmer - not enough to really make any difference. I bought a Snap-on 1/4" spanner once, 25! About 4 for the same thing from Halfords!

I think i've only ever broken one of the Halfords Pro spanners, a 10mm one which had been given about 15 years of hard use. Took it back to the local branch, they exhanged it, no questions asked. Which is all that happens with Snap-on stuff, but you have to get a lot of free replacement snap-on spanners to make up for he increased price....
