Rank #7 in Best Spanner Set 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Specs That Do Not Agree
GearWrench 86702 30-Piece Ratcheting Combination Spanner Set
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The GearWrench 86702 is a 30-piece ratcheting combination set covering 1/4 inch to 1 inch and 8 mm to 24 mm, listed at £269.58 with a 4.7 rating from 434 reviews. It takes the number 7 slot in this guide. The most useful thing on its listing is a number that survives being read against itself: 6.24 kg across 30 spanners works out at roughly 208 g per tool, which is about what a steel spanner of this size should weigh. The Draper 11-piece set in the same guide is listed at 159 g for the whole set and the Neilsen 25-piece at 160 g — that is 6.4 g per spanner once you divide it — so the GearWrench listing is the one whose weight figure holds up under arithmetic.
The table still contradicts itself in places. The title and the set name say 30 pieces, while the Number of Items field says 1 — and so do Item Package Quantity and Unit Count. The title says 'Ratcheting Combination', but the Head Style field says only 'Box End'. The material is alloy steel in both the bullet points and the material field, and the same table also marks the set as non-sparking. Item Length is given as 12 inches, which cannot describe a 30-piece set in racks. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing; we have not handled the set and none of the figures here were measured by us.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I was able to get these around Black Friday for about $168! If you can catch them on sale, awesome! But even at regular price, they are an amazing wrench set! Finish is very nice, the organizers work well, and have good ratcheting mechanisms for me so far!”
Verified purchase“I have yet to give these a full workload but I can literally feel my money's worth. Figure $7.50 a wrench. I'm happy I finally added a complete set to my madness.The racks / hangers on the other hand are absolute garbage...”

Questions people ask
How many spanners are in the GearWrench 86702 set?
The product name, the Set Name field and the ranges in the title all describe a 30-piece set covering 1/4 to 1 inch and 8 to 24 mm. The Number of Items field, however, says 1, as do Item Package Quantity and Unit Count.
What is the ratchet swing on the GearWrench 86702?
The listing says the 72-tooth ratcheting box end needs a minimum of 5 degrees to move a fastener against 30 degrees for a standard wrench. Seventy-two teeth into 360 degrees is 5 degrees, so those two numbers agree.
What is the GearWrench 86702 made from?
Both the bullet points and the Material field say alloy steel, with a polished finish in chrome. The same table also lists the set as non-sparking, which is the one claim on the page worth checking before you rely on it.
Does the GearWrench 86702 come with racks?
Yes. The product name ends 'with Wrench Racks'. One reviewer on the listing rated the wrenches themselves highly but called the racks the weak part of the set.
What does the GearWrench 86702 cost?
The Amazon listing shows £269.58 for the set. Two of the reviews on that same listing price it in dollars instead, so neither figure can be checked directly against the pound price here.
Is the GearWrench 86702 a combination wrench set?
The title says 'Ratcheting Combination' and the box end is described as having a thin head and beam for access in confined areas. The Head Style field, though, records only 'Box End', so the table does not confirm the open end shown in the title.
