Spanners with sequential sizes

[Agrivator]

Does anyone sell spanners with different sizes at each end.

One with 12mm (jaws) at one end and 13 mm (ring) at the other, then 13 (jaws) and 14 (ring), then 14 (jaws) and 15 (ring), then 15 and 16 etc.

The reason is obvious, and if no one has thought of the idea, I hereby patent it and am willing to share the intellectual rights with an enterprising manufacturer.

Such sets would fly off the shelves. Well at least one to me.

Oh yeah, 'bugger, that end won't do it I'll use the ring end....'

Yeah How many times have you squeezed into that awkward place and then find out your tool is 1mm too big or small ?

Plenty of sets of combination spanners around but mixing sizes and ring vs open ended seems daft.

I've got a set of double open ended gedore spacers that go from 6-34mm and don't miss many in the middle

A lot of the bolts on our machines have say a 12mm nut and a 13mm bolt head for just that reason. It confuses the hell out of new customers!

But probably more so "old "ones ?

i assume youd have to get them made special?

A lot of M12 bolts now have a head that takes an 18mm socket and nuts that take 19mm. I have found it annoying but maybe I need to look at it differently.

Claas combines have this. Saves duplicating spanners but you soon get used to it.

Just for spite

There was a stand used to sell them at LAMMA and other shows. Always at special show price!!! I have never found the need myself, just need two adjustables - one metric and one imperial.

Call yourselves farmers- where is the: 'F*$&% IT- THIS BARSTEWARD IMPERIAL ONE WILL FIT!!'

Sorry to have to tell you this but that in itself would be a good enough reason to stop me buying any of your kit, for a relatively small cost a second set of spammers can be bought and I tend to buy spares of common sizes like 10, 13, 17, 19 and 24.
I’d much rather spend extra on spanner’s than cope with the confusion

Twin set spanners x 3 here.
Come in a roll with long lasting Velcro strip to keep them rolled up and live behind seat of vehicle we are using. Colour strips too, to help those of us who can’t distinguish 10mm from 13mm!
They are great in our experience, involving older small farm machines.
