Hello MBClub.

First post.

Recently purchased a new kit so I can finally stay on top of repair work.
The kit I purchased is the Bahco 94 Piece Socket & Spanner Set

Heaps in the kit and great value. Only Issue is I have never seen the Flex head spanners in use before and have been wondering what these are usually used for.

Has anyone else had a need to use one of these Flex Head Spanners ?

Thank you

Regards
JN
 
Assuming they are ratchet heads, they can get in where there is not enough clearance for a socket and ratchet. They are particularly useful on bikes.
 
I have a set of these, as above when clearance is limited its a lot easier to slip the ratchet end over the nut and work it off, much better than with a standard ring where you will get an 8th turn then remove and reposition the ring ready for another 8th
