Hand tool sets from Gedore, the German maker that has supplied industrial workshops for over a century. This collection is built around combination spanner sets and combination ratchet wrench sets, with a cranked reversible ratchet and a pin punch set alongside, and it suits mechanics, maintenance fitters and serious home users who want one case of tools that will last a working life.
Choosing a tool set
- Size range. The Gedore combination spanner sets run 10 pieces from 8mm to 22mm, 17 pieces from 6mm to 22mm, 12 pieces from 10mm to 32mm and 21 pieces from 6mm to 32mm. Pick the set whose range matches the fasteners you actually meet.
- Plain or ratcheting. The 12 piece combination ratchet wrench sets from 8mm to 19mm speed up repetitive work and get into places a socket cannot. One version includes adapters so the ratcheting end also drives bits and sockets.
- Add the small tools. The 2K reversible 1/4 inch ratchet and the 6 piece pin punch set in a folding metal cassette round out a mechanic's drawer.
Spanner set or socket set?
A spanner set is the right starting point for engines, machinery and furniture hardware where access is tight. A socket set adds speed and torque on bolts you can reach square on, and the two complement each other. Browse sockets and spanners for socket sets, impact sockets and hex keys, the full hand tools range for pliers, screwdrivers and measuring tools, and Knipex for the pliers that belong in the same drawer.
