Rolson Ratchet Spanner Set

Overall Auto Express rating

1.0

Budget Rolson set really struggled in this company. There’s no case, roll or holder and the chrome finish was pitted on one of our samples. The 10mm open end was too big and both 13mm and 17mm failed the torque tests – the smaller one at a level you could probably achieve by hand. Both were unusable after the test. The other ratchets were coarse and the set didn’t cover our essentials.
