Rank #1 in Best Spanner Set 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Specs That Do Not Agree
S&R Combination Spanner Set, 15 Piece, 6-21 mm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The S&R Combination Spanner set takes first place in this guide: a 15-piece metric set in chrome vanadium steel, listed at £24.98 with a 4.7 average from 6,462 ratings. Every piece carries an open end and a ring end, the sizes are laser-etched, and the whole lot lives in a roll-up storage bag. The listing describes narrow ring profiles for reaching clustered fixings on radiators, pumps and gearboxes, and the matt anti-glare finish is there to keep the markings readable under workshop lighting.
The finding in its own listing is the gap. The first bullet promises "every size from 6 to 21 mm" with "no gaps in the metric range", and the technical data on the same page names 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 21 mm. There is no 20 mm in that list. The weight field reads 862 g for those 15 pieces, about 57 g per spanner, which is worth setting beside the 1.03 kg claimed for a 12-piece set elsewhere in this guide. Nothing on this page comes from our own testing: every figure is taken from the Amazon listing as it is published.

Questions people ask
Does the set really cover every size from 6 to 21 mm without gaps?
The listing says there are "no gaps in the metric range", but its own technical data lists 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 21 mm, and 20 mm is not among them. Both statements appear on the same product page.
How many spanners are in the S&R set?
Fifteen, model 273.001.115. Each piece has an open end and a ring end, laser-etched sizes, and the set is supplied in a roll-up storage bag.
What is the set made from?
Chrome vanadium steel, according to the listing, with a polished and matt finish that WERKFIX describes as anti-glare so the size markings stay readable in bright light.
What guarantee comes with it?
The listing states a ten-year guarantee from S&R, which it says was established in the UK in 1998 and which backs the Werkfix range this set belongs to.
What do buyers report?
The listing shows 4.7 out of 5 from 6,462 ratings, with 77 five-star ratings, 16 four-star, 6 three-star and 1 two-star. Reviewers mention build quality, the size range and the roll-up case.

The Country of Origin field reads India, while the same listing says the brand has been established in the UK since 1998.
