Clarke PRO20 12 Piece 6 - 19mm Combination Spanner Set review

When it comes to indispensable tools for home motorcycle mechanics none are more crucial than a good set of spanners. 

But with so many types available – in a multitude of sizes – ranging in price from just a few pounds to upwards of £100 it’s difficult to find a set that is right for you – that’s where we come in. 

Machine Mart have one of the biggest selections of all and their range of Clarke tools are available through both their retail shops and their dedicated online store. 

You can go for Imperial, metric or Whitworth sizes, in ring, open-ended or combination designs (which marry the two types) and you can also find sets of various sizes, sometimes in bespoke cases or racks and to suit all budgets. 

But for the modern bike home mechanic on a budget, we think one of the best is this PRO20 12 Piece Set which costs just £41.99 and is very highly rated. 

It’s a 12-piece set comprising a dozen combination spanners in the most commonly used motorcycle metric sizes of 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 19mm. 

All the spanners are forged from strong chrome vanadium steel with slimline handle for enhanced grip and leverage, have jaws offset by 15 degrees to improve access to nuts and bolts and are polished to a deep chrome finish. They also come with a bespoke, useful wall storage rack plus lifetime guarantee. 

Going by the numerous positive reviews posted by satisfied buyers on the Machine Mart website, we’re not the only ones impressed. 

Jonathan wrote: “Top quality product. I use these every day at work, a carshop, and they are very strong. They are of thick metal, have a rounded shaft and don't cut into your hands like other more expensive brands. Being of a thick profile you can really give them some hard use and they don't bend. I recommend these to all users including full-time mechanics such as myself.” 

While Chris added, more briefly: “Very impressed for price, great product, fast delivery – thanks.”
