Draper Expert X-Torq Ratcheting Spanner Set

As on the Teng, one oversize ring spoiled an otherwise good performance.

Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

As on the Teng, one oversize ring spoiled an otherwise good performance. The Draper is the only set with handles shaped so the largest side is against the palm when you apply pressure, and as they’re the longest tools on test, you can apply plenty. As well as being comfortable to use, they’re well finished and cover our essentials, but the ratchets run a little coarse.
