Common ratchet spanner head types:

Open Ended Spanner: An essential spanner for any tool box, it can also come with a ratchet mechanism meaning this versatile tool can be used across various settings. The ratchet combination spanner is constructed of chrome vanadium steel, which offers excellent load bearing strength and hardness, and also good resistance to corrosion. As such, this robust and reliable tool promises a long service life even in challenging environments. High-quality materials allow for safe operation, even at the high torques. Unlike a ring spanner, a ratchet allows the tool to apply torque in one direction only. This means that you can reset the position of your tool without actually releasing the fastening or fixing. This allows for more comfortable and faster turning. However, the ratchet ring is not as sturdy as the fixed ring spanner, and may not have as much torque power.
