Rank #6 in Best Spanner Set 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Specs That Do Not Agree
BGS DIY 1232 Combination Spanner Set, 12 Piece, 6-22 mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The BGS Diy 1232 is a 12-piece combination spanner set covering 6 - 22 mm, listed at £17.87 and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 661 ratings. It sits at number 6 in our guide to spanner sets, and its headline numbers are the ones that line up: the title's 6 - 22 mm range matches the Jaw Capacity field of 22 Millimetres, and the 1.03 kg Item Weight comes out at roughly 86 g per spanner, against 6.4 g per tool on the 25-piece Neilsen set and 159 g for the 11-piece Draper set listed elsewhere in the guide.
Two fields on the same listing still do not fit. Item Length is given as 22 Millimetres — the same figure as the largest jaw size, on a set that is plainly longer than 22 mm — and Number of Items says 1 Count beside a title that says 12 pcs. The rating breakdown shown covers 100 of the 661 ratings, with 74 five-star and 2 one-star. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing; we have not tested the set.
