My King **** works a treat
I got to say my King **** work excellently yesterday, it took the full force.
Went to the breakers and wanted a right hand rear brake plate, to get it off you have to remove a 32 mm nut. Last year I damaged my socket and marinabrian advised a King **** ring spanner. I got one off of Ebay. Even with 16 stone standing on one end of the spanner it did not snap, mind you the nut did not move either. A bit of bouncing on the end of the spanner and crack, the nut comes lose. Was so much easier with the ring spanner than trying to use a socket although one on an air gun would have been ok I think.# So like marinbrian, I to recommend a 32mm King **** ring spanner for removing those pesky 32mm nuts. macafee2 |

I have quite a few KD spanners that my dad brought when he was in the motor trade in the 70's, still as strong as ever. The old un's are usually the best, in fact they have outlived a set of Snap On ratchet spanners that were brought at the same time, the lifetime guarantee on Snap On is useless, they will not honour the guarantee on the tools brought back then even though its the usual problem of the springs breaking inside.
Long live King Willie ... |

I have a full set of King Richards that I acquired when I was serving in the army many years ago. Solid and well made.
