The second stop was at a notoriously expensive specialty tool store where I also bought the only 18mm wrench in the store. This time a Gear Wrench brand ratcheting swivel head for $36.00cdn (about 23.GBP) OUCH! but I have to have it.
At least I got a bargain 1/2 tank of petrol on the way home and gave the ZT a good run on a beautiful sunny day!

I may even get around to doing the suspension arms tomorrow.
My ratchet spanners are Gear Wrench.......expensive but good quality, and unless abused, will last well, my oldest ones are about 20 years old and still performing beautifully
