Rank #3 in Best Spanner Set 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Specs That Do Not Agree
DISEN 11-Piece Ratchet Spanner Set, 6-18 mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The DISEN 11-piece ratchet combination spanner set is third in this guide. It is a metric set spanning 6 mm to 18 mm, priced at £35.99 on its Amazon listing and rated 4.7 out of 5 from 1,521 ratings. The most useful thing in its own details is a number that does not agree with another number: the star breakdown published with the listing — 83 five-star, 12 four-star, 3 three-star, 1 two-star and 1 one-star — adds up to 100, not 1,521. The first bullet has its own split: it advertises an "elegant gold-tone ratchet" and, in the same sentence, describes a black electrophoretic coating over chromium-vanadium steel.
Where the figures hold up: 1 kg across 11 tools works out at roughly 91 g a spanner, which reads plausibly beside the sub-200 g weights quoted for larger sets elsewhere in this guide. The listed sizes — 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 mm — are eleven sizes for eleven tools, though 7 mm and 11 mm are missing from the 6-18 mm title. Everything on this page comes from the DISEN listing on Amazon and not from any test of our own.

Questions people ask
Which sizes are in the DISEN 11-piece set?
The Item Highlight field lists 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 mm — eleven sizes for eleven tools. There is no 7 mm and no 11 mm in that list, so the 6-18 mm in the DISEN title is not an unbroken run.
How heavy is the DISEN set?
The Item Weight field on the listing says 1 kg. Across the 11 tools in the set, that is about 91 g per spanner.
Is the ratchet head gold or black?
Both descriptions appear in the first bullet of the DISEN listing: it calls the ratchet "elegant gold-tone" and states that the tools are finished with a black electrophoretic coating. The bullet covers the body and the ratchet head in the same sentence.
What is the rating on this set?
The DISEN listing shows 4.7 out of 5 from 1,521 ratings. The star breakdown published alongside it — 83 five-star, 12 four-star, 3 three-star, 1 two-star and 1 one-star — adds up to 100.
What are the DISEN wrenches made of?
The bullet text says chromium-vanadium steel with a black electrophoretic coating; the Material field confirms Chrome Vanadium Steel. Country of Origin is listed as China.
How does the DISEN set store?
The set ships with a hanging storage pouch, described in the listing as custom-made to keep the tools from sliding, and the Item Highlight field lists the pouch among the set's features.
