Got one of them couple of years ago but it only had the 20 and the 25mm locknut spanners. Might have to have to buy the bigger set now.

I got a set off ebay for about £90. I've never seen them go that cheap since I must of been lucky that day.

I bought the Bush spanner and the old lock nut tool 20 + 25mm, only really used the bush spanner, the lock nut spanner wasn't as good as my 180mm Knipex cobra grips.
