At the moment I've no secondhand 1/4 whit in combination.I've open end or a few ring. It might be a different story in a week or so,I keep getting offered old stock,if so I'll let you know.
I'll work out what spanner sizes I need in the superslim.I prefer the feel of the older style spanners,easier on the hands and fingers.The King Dick stuff is well made,has an old fashioned look about it and is made in the UK.It sells quite well in the US where "Made in England" still means something.

So much for the famous Snapon guarantee! I never bothered with them normally. Didn't like what they did to my hands and over the years I found I lost far more spanners than I ever broke or wore out. Regarded them as a rip-off price.
I am still using a lot of Hazet combination spanners I bought 56 years ago. Only one failed (it seemed to have very soft jaws). The ones which have not disappeared in the half century-plus are still very good.
Jim.

Thanks Kevin. I'll take you up on that. Send me a PM about how you want paying and an address to send it to. I could possibly send it via Paypal if you have an account, but I will need an email address for that.
Or alternatively, if you sort out what Superslims you are looking for we can work it out that way.
Give me a few hours and I will see what I have and send you a PM. I believe I have a few A/F Superslims too if you are interested.
Regards, Jim.
