The Anonymous Widower

Engineering Pornography

I needed a 17 mm. ratchet spanner to try to fix the stairs.  They may be more expensive, but they are so easy to use if you have gammy hands. Or just one good one like me!

So I bought this double-ended one made by TengTools  from Franchi in the Holloway Road.

A TengTools 17/19 mm. Ratchet Spanner

It looks, feels and works so good it’s almost pornographic.

Twenty years ago, this sort of hand-tool, might well have been made in the United States, but TengTools are a Swedish company. So perhaps the United States isn’t building on its traditional strengths to get itself sorted out.
