ratchet spanner 4 changing rad valves

[SafeGasInstall]

does any one know and can recommend me a good ratchet spanner ,have very bad wrist
and changing rad valves becomes nightmare for me

My ratchet spanners are by stanley in all fairness all my hand tools are. They where expensive but I got them in all different sizes and have one for every job, I have had them ages and they look and work like they where bought yesterday. I really rate stanley tools for these reasons.

How you damage your wrist? hope your back to normal soon.

I bought one of those ratcheting adjustable spanners by Stanley...it too also looks like I bought it yesterday...mainly because it's never used!

Stanley stuff is good though. I just wouldn't buy a ratcheting adjustable, the idea is better than the reality.

This is what I bought...they come in three sizes. I bought the one big enough to do 22mm compression joints.

Think you need a ratcheting step wrench. More like this:

Toolstation > Hand Tools > Plumbers Tools > Multi Size Radiator Key & Ratchet

Get well soon mate.

Never seen a ratchet open spanner. Might be someone who makes them? What about an extra long 16mm? They are around 290 long so makes it easy to turn.

Or you could just use a set of grips. I have a 10" set of these which don't mark chrome fittings

Hi,
Never Heard off a ratchet spanner before, but you could try the Aston Super Wrench, you can use them one haned, spring loaded head, hook onto anything even steel pipe, use the link below:-
ASTON 5 PCE SUPERWRENCH SET BUY ONE GET ONE FREE! | eBay UK
This is the first place google came up with, but you could probably get them else where.

 

[stevetheplumber]

you can buy a ratchet tool for removing rad tails at most merchant but cant see how you could use a ratchet ring for the valves usually half a turn leaves them finger tight

I'm left handed to but i tend to use my right hand for most things.
When i was an apprentice my journeyman used to make me do things with my left hand and say "you need to learn this because if you learn to do it with your left you can do it with your right anyway"

It took him a while to find out i was really left handed, he though i was just a smart ar
