    Whatever next - coloured spanners!

    Found these in the Sealey Power Products advert in Classic Bike -



    The missus reckons that they're for women*. You can picture the scene -

    Pass me the spanner.

    Which size?

    The GREEN one!

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    I like the Idea.
    They could help when you are needing a specific size spanner amount that pile, If you know the colour of the size you need.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    As a mechanic these I already have them and also a socket set of the same colouration. IT just makes it simpler whilst working with numpties if you say pass the blue spanner the do, but if you say pass the 14mm they look for days in the tool box, then get you a 13mm.
