Let the buyer beware these are Siegen and NOT Sealey spaners.
I know others have mention this, but I think it is worth repeating that these are not Sealey, the packaging clearly say: "Siegen". I just don't understand how Amazon can allow such blatant misrepresentation to take place. If these were for sale in a shop the local council would be taking the owners to court, so how can Amazon get away with it. The really stupid thing is, is that they are excellent spanners and would stand up under their own name, but then they would not appear to be such a good when you think you are buying branded goods. If I bought a Volkswagon but got a Skoda in its place I would not be happy. That's more than enough ranting for one review...!!!

Inconsistent sizes makes them of limited use.
Pretty terrible.Quality is ok, but the main problem is the sizes. 17mm is far too small to fit a 17mm bolt of any description - on measuring it with calipers it is more like 16.6mm in size rendering it useless.10mm was also out by a similar 0.4mm again making it useless.All the others came up a tiny bit large to varying degrees which would at least mean you could use them on their intended nut just beware of rounding off on tight fittings.The crows feet also have no detent on them to accept a socket drive ball so they fall off relatively easily which when you consider you only use these for access restricted areas on an engine makes them of limited use if you have to keep fishing them out of the engine compartment when they drop off at the slightest knock.Returned for refund.

Good value
I needed something which I could use in a torque driver as the heat exchanger I was putting in the man cave required certain settings so you do not damage the threads.These were not to expensive and did the job, so I have now got these in case any I need them again or any of my friends need them in the future.

Good looking set, but dont recommend for seized bolts
Arrived, looked good quality and felt very happy. Used 13mm on a seized bolt that I had been soaking for best part of a day (whilst waiting for package) and it snapped.All I can say is great spanners for light to medium work. They do have a lifetime warranty but how do you quickly exchange individual pieces? Returned whole set and ordered another set. Cant honestly say the spanners are poor - may have been a bad cast?

Any one who suggests these are good tools are misleading you
LET ME CORRECT EVERYONE! They are Sealey however they are packaged under the name Siegen which is the cheaper tool range of Sealey (check there catalogue online). Any one who suggests these are good tools are misleading you. They are forged badly, they are not a good fit and the ones I recieved were pitted and corroded in some areas. I had to through the rail away as it was the worst by far. On a positive note they are made from vanadium steel which is better than the standard cardon steel a lot of the cheaper tools are made from. Tools are only as good as they are forged so that may not mean alot however the next alternative was three times the price and I only needed them for one job. Please note as with all tool manufactures, Sealey included offer a premium version which you cannot fault.
