Rank #10 in Best Spanner Set 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Specs That Do Not Agree
Draper HI-TORQ 97918 25-Piece Combination Spanner Set
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Draper 97918 is a 25-piece metric combination spanner set in chrome vanadium steel, supplied on a Tetron storage pouch, and it sits at number 10 in this guide at £56.79. The listing is specific about the things you can feel in the hand — ring ends and jaws offset at 15 degrees, a fully polished chrome-plated finish — and vague in the one place a buyer needs precision.
Read the numbers against each other and they do not line up. The title says "6-32mm". The first bullet says the set covers "sizes from 6 to 23mm". The Jaw Capacity field says 23 Millimetres. Three answers to the same question, and the widest of them appears only in the title, where nothing else supports it. Elsewhere the same listing carries an Item Weight of 4.7 kg and an Item Length of 12.6 cm — the first is plausible for 25 spanners, the second is shorter than the tools it is describing. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and the customer ratings attached to it; we have not handled, weighed or measured the set ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I bought these for work just to get me started in a new job. The size range in this set is really good, and the quality is pretty good too. I work in a plastic moulding factory as a maintenance engineer, and so far they're standing up to the punishment.”
Verified purchase“I have owned Snap on, Craftsman, Gearwrench, Milwaukee, Draper, SK and many other brands of wrenches over the years and these are in my opinion a good set of wrenches for a very good price.”

Questions people ask
How many spanners are in the Draper 97918 set?
The title, the Set Name and the first bullet all describe a 25-piece set. Note that the Number of Items field reads 1, which counts the pack rather than the tools.
What size range does the Draper 97918 cover?
The listing gives three answers. The title says 6-32mm; the first bullet says 6 to 23mm; the Jaw Capacity field says 23 Millimetres. The 32 mm figure appears nowhere except the title.
Does this Draper set ratchet?
No. The Is Racheting field says No, and the Head Style is listed as combination spanner, so the ring end is fixed rather than a ratchet ring.
How are the ends offset?
The second bullet states that both the ring ends and the jaws are offset at 15 degrees, which the listing says is for access in tight or hard-to-reach spaces.
How is the set supplied?
On a Tetron storage pouch. The Included Components and Item Type Name fields both describe it as the Draper 97918 Combination Spanner Set (25 Piece).
What does Draper say the set is made from?
Chrome vanadium steel, forged, hardened, tempered and fully polished with chrome plating for corrosion protection, in a silver finish.
