Is it my advancing years that makes me pee'd off with adverts like this? On the face of it these could be useful, but for the most part, the picture is too small to see what he is selling. You have, again for the most part, no idea if these are metric, AF or old British etc, but we do have 17 lines of his trading terms and conditions. Rant over - anyone want some pot-luck spanners?

no connection....... - thank Heavens!!

Make him work for it! Ask for full description of all sizes, makes, measurements, etc.

Mouse over zoom reveals that the majority are a load of "whats it". Some of the more shiny ones reveal the words "dropped forge" and have the typical design of lower quality product.

Maybe at a "car boot" / "garage" sale one may risk an odd £1 for the lot, although there is little justification even at a £1.

In the bottom of that manky old cardboard box, which, if belonging to someone else you would have said "chuck'em"
