For $1-$3 each, Go to Bunnings.
You can pick up loose throw away spanners there for $1. Common sizes sell out, but they do renew the stock.

i have a complete sequential set of 6 through to 19mm (ie 8x9, 10x11 etc) in Minimax for home use. What i'm looking for is ring spanners such a 10x13, 12x14 etc for more compact set up in my car, motorcycle and scooters.

Why? having a set of open end spanners and a set of ring spanners in 10x12, 14x17 is more useful than 4 individual combination spanners (10,12,14,17) and takes up about the same amount of space.

I don't understand having cheap tools in your car. Bust a cheap spanner at home and it's no big deal. Bust a cheap spanner on the trail and you're stuffed.

i agree completely for my car i have a very complete tool roll for trips filled with quality tools (even take vac gauge, multimeter and portable timng light etc), i keep a second crappy tool roll for daily local stuff like going to work as i my car doesn't lock.

as for the ring spanners they are extras to make certain jobs easier so if they are in the right size i would take a nameless china\taiwan\india option untl i can replace it with a better 2nd hand one when it comes along. At garage sales i usually pay 50c to a $1 per brand name spanner for sidchrome, gedore, toledo etc but so far all the ring spanners i have come across are imperial .

while we are being chatty about it i have to say i'm ussually impressed with çheap spanners/wrenches made in india ' they tend to forgo the shiny look and a bit more rugged than the china equivalents.
