Product Information

This ratcheting combination Joker Spanner features a return angle of just 30°, making the need to flip the tool over redundant.

The similar looking 6000-series Joker has the ratchet inline instead of angled, and it has no switch – you flip the spanner over to reverse direction. Again, you could probably get away with just one or two at most for the nuts and bolts found on bicycles. Their great virtues are: their self-setting on nuts of any size within their self-adjusting range: their ability to act as ratcheting spanners with no need to take the spanner off the nut to get it into position for the next turn. Wera tool sets have a variety of meaningful features. The superior calibration services ensure complete precision and adjustment, so your tools always provide the right amount of torque and pressure. Why choose SGS for your Wera tool kits? This variety of Wera spanners is certainly showing the usual Wera features of inherent quality and innovative, genuinely-useful design functions. However, few bikes have more than one or two sizes of nut or bolt head so you really don't need a full set or even a set of four, especially given the price. Joker Spanners feature a double-hex geometry which affords a perfect fit with the Bolt or Nut. This results in a reliable holding function to effectively avoid dropping the fastener, with the hardened metal plate in the jaw of the spanner biting into the material for a strong grip.

Meanwhile, the 6003 series has an even smaller (15-degree) return angle for use in very tight spaces, but no plate in the jaw, and a slim, angled ring with no ratchet. Wera actually does a bike-specific set of these that includes 8, 9, 10 and 13mm sizes plus a 15mm Joker pedal spanner.I know this, they're excellent from what I've seen and read. I'm not averse to a lovely tool, although for my workshop, I've gone down the blue route. There's definitely space in there though for some Wera stuff. Despite appearances, even I yam just another bog-standard human: flawed to the core. However, even rotters like me can learn through experience, which does unfortunately have to include the "making mistakes" variety. Suitable for driving Hex Head Screws , Hexagon Bolts and Hex Nuts , the Joker Combination Ratchet Spanner boasts an integrated limit stop to prevent slipping and allow for higher torque to be safely applied to the fastener. As the installation space becomes increasingly tight during screwdriving, it remains necessary that tools enable users to work successfully. Narrow spaces require additional placement points of the tool, to allow screws to be accessed. A repeated 180° turn of the wrench around the longitudinal axis during screwdriving provides four placement possibilities, and bolts or screw heads can be taken every 15°.

However, some folk learn from experience and others .... don't. My own theory as to why this strange cleft comes about is that some folk remain able to recognise and live in what's left of reality whilst others are now entirely constructed by the mass media so inhabit a pretend world where whatever they read in some glossy brochure is true because of the gloss, no matter how many pieces of gloss-dross they've bought then thrown into the landfill. State of the art facilities specialising in both small batch prototyping and large scale manufacture. Making tools that are both durable and premium-quality is a priority for Wera. With an emphasis on user-friendliness and lightweight design, Wera believes in designing only the most innovative products.The Wera Joker 6000 Series Combination Ratchet Spanners have been uniquely engineered to work faster and more efficiently than your average spanner or wrench, whilst offering a stylish, modern aesthetic that makes them easily recognisable to engineers. It's just that, having read your post in its entirety, what started with the suggestion of having special faculties to discern quality products actually turned (eventually, and disappointingly) into "you have to buy it and try it, and I've been conned too"
