Metric 18 combination spanner, good quality.

Fits rear wheel nuts on Wisper 905, Synergie Mistral and probably a whole lot more

For those with loads of spanners but no 18mm, you can easily make your own:

Adapted 18mm spanners

That one on sale is a very good price though.

Good idea Flecc.

The one I have pointed to above is excellent quality, Chrome Vanadium with very fine polished finish, certainly on a par with Snap-on.

The annoying thing about sets is they also miss out 15 mm, the common size for non hub front spindles. I used to find these in the "odds" box at steam rallies and buy several at a time. That was in the days when the local youngsters borrowed them ....never to be seen again.

The new house rules require "All tools to remain on site". I can only describe the way they work on their bikes as "frenzied" which I prefer to keep out of, only intervening when a request for "A bigger hammer" is shouted through the back door!!

Yes, the assumptions in spanner sets are annoying, especially when the loose 18 mm in a store can cost about £11, almost as much as a set!

Many do have 15 mm though, but 18 mm are as rare as hens teeth.

Ah hammers, the Birmingham screwdriver.
