[QUOTE="Paddington, post: 9259967, member: 252"] I'm doing a job which involves putting nuts on several vertical bolts holding a small plate in place. There is only about 1cm gap under the end of the bolt to get the nut on, do up fingertight and then get a ratchet spanner on it. I'm using a Teng ratchet spanner, I find Teng stuff good normally but the wrench is angled, as the nut tightens up the ratchet switch hits the bottom of the plate and the ratchet reverses suddenly, skinning my knuckles. There is no room to turn the wrench over. I tried using a cheap Amazon ratchet spanner which is flat and has the switch on the side but as I only have 45 degrees of movement the ratchet doesn't even click. I could use an open ended spanner which would take an age, not helped by me doing the job on top of a stepladder. There must be other people out there with tools that looked good at the time, but with hindsight were a waste of money ? [/QUOTE]
