Just been in the Aldi and picked up a set of metric open end spanners on offer at £2.99, down from £4.99.

Hmm, I value my knuckles at more than £2.99 a go! Do they look decent?

I bought some years ago (well, from lidl) not managed to break or bend any yet

Worth it at that price for a set of sacrificial spanners to cut down/bend/grind for those awkward tight jobs. Saying that they were hardly expensive at full price!

If they are the same set my father in law has then they are alright actually.

I bought some of the "stubby" spanners 2 years ago, and they have proved very usefull, and ok quality.

I've had a couple of the sets of lidl ones for about 5 years now. I've only ever snapped one, was a 14mm and I don't think I've used a 14 since.

Not snapon but for £2.99 you can't go wrong. The pixies will only steal them anyway
