Wera Joker Combination Ratchet Spanner set Metric, 11pc, 05020013001

Product Information

This ratcheting combination Joker Spanner features a return angle of just 30°, making the need to flip the tool over redundant. State of the art facilities specialising in both small batch prototyping and large scale manufacture.

Making tools that are both durable and premium-quality is a priority for Wera. With an emphasis on user-friendliness and lightweight design, Wera believes in designing only the most innovative products. However, some folk learn from experience and others .... don't. My own theory as to why this strange cleft comes about is that some folk remain able to recognise and live in what's left of reality whilst others are now entirely constructed by the mass media so inhabit a pretend world where whatever they read in some glossy brochure is true because of the gloss, no matter how many pieces of gloss-dross they've bought then thrown into the landfill.It's just that pretty much most other contributions from Cugel here regarding products, services or technologies that don't align with their own opinions and experience are run down and described (not without a small degree of pomposity) as some part of a global conspiracy by the advertising industry to fool everyone into parting with cash for stuff they don't need. Another Wera Joker set is probably even more innovative, useful adaptable and versatile: the self-setting (of the jaw-gap) variety:

This variety of Wera spanners is certainly showing the usual Wera features of inherent quality and innovative, genuinely-useful design functions. However, few bikes have more than one or two sizes of nut or bolt head so you really don't need a full set or even a set of four, especially given the price. The Wera Joker 6000 Series Combination Ratchet Spanners have been uniquely engineered to work faster and more efficiently than your average spanner or wrench, whilst offering a stylish, modern aesthetic that makes them easily recognisable to engineers. As the installation space becomes increasingly tight during screwdriving, it remains necessary that tools enable users to work successfully. Narrow spaces require additional placement points of the tool, to allow screws to be accessed. A repeated 180° turn of the wrench around the longitudinal axis during screwdriving provides four placement possibilities, and bolts or screw heads can be taken every 15°. Despite appearances, even I yam just another bog-standard human: flawed to the core. However, even rotters like me can learn through experience, which does unfortunately have to include the "making mistakes" variety.

Latest Comments

Again, you could probably get away with just one or two at most for the nuts and bolts found on bicycles. Their great virtues are: their self-setting on nuts of any size within their self-adjusting range: their ability to act as ratcheting spanners with no need to take the spanner off the nut to get it into position for the next turn.
