This variety of Wera spanners is certainly showing the usual Wera features of inherent quality and innovative, genuinely-useful design functions. However, few bikes have more than one or two sizes of nut or bolt head so you really don't need a full set or even a set of four, especially given the price.

What are Wera Joker 6000 Combination Ratchet Spanners?

The ratchet mechanism at the ring shaped end of this Joker Combination Spanner features 80 teeth. This fine tooth mechanism, combined with the small return angle, offers flexibility even in confined workspaces. Materials. Making tools that are both durable and premium-quality is a priority for Wera. With an emphasis on user-friendliness and lightweight design, Wera believes in designing only the most innovative products.

Despite appearances, even I yam just another bog-standard human: flawed to the core. However, even rotters like me can learn through experience, which does unfortunately have to include the "making mistakes" variety. Meanwhile, the 6003 series has an even smaller (15-degree) return angle for use in very tight spaces, but no plate in the jaw, and a slim, angled ring with no ratchet. Wera actually does a bike-specific set of these that includes 8, 9, 10 and 13mm sizes plus a 15mm Joker pedal spanner.However, some folk learn from experience and others .... don't. My own theory as to why this strange cleft comes about is that some folk remain able to recognise and live in what's left of reality whilst others are now entirely constructed by the mass media so inhabit a pretend world where whatever they read in some glossy brochure is true because of the gloss, no matter how many pieces of gloss-dross they've bought then thrown into the landfill. The similar looking 6000-series Joker has the ratchet inline instead of angled, and it has no switch – you flip the spanner over to reverse direction. Many poor tools have conned me out of my hard-earned quids. These experiences increase one's sensitivity to spivery. The Wera Joker 6000 Series Combination Ratchet Spanners have been uniquely engineered to work faster and more efficiently than your average spanner or wrench, whilst offering a stylish, modern aesthetic that makes them easily recognisable to engineers. Ratchet Spanners in this range are available in open end spanner sizes starting from 8mm up to 19mm. With Wera’s “Take it easy" Tool Finder, each spanner is colour coded according to its size for fast and simple tool selection.

I know this, they're excellent from what I've seen and read. I'm not averse to a lovely tool, although for my workshop, I've gone down the blue route. There's definitely space in there though for some Wera stuff. Suitable for driving Hex Head Screws , Hexagon Bolts and Hex Nuts , the Joker Combination Ratchet Spanner boasts an integrated limit stop to prevent slipping and allow for higher torque to be safely applied to the fastener. Though these aren't cheap, they are very well designed and made, and offer some really useful features that most rivals don't. For that reason – and because of how nice they are to use – I'd say the value was still good, but only if you really want to treat yourself (and your bike). Otherwise, there are very good alternatives you can get for less. Verdict With a wide range of options that fit any trade, this industry-leading brand understands that there's always room for improvement. It is constantly refining its products to provide only perfected tools that transform the way you work. Wera tool sets have a variety of meaningful features. The superior calibration services ensure complete precision and adjustment, so your tools always provide the right amount of torque and pressure. Why choose SGS for your Wera tool kits?

Another Wera Joker set is probably even more innovative, useful adaptable and versatile: the self-setting (of the jaw-gap) variety: This ratcheting combination Joker Spanner features a return angle of just 30°, making the need to flip the tool over redundant. It's just that pretty much most other contributions from Cugel here regarding products, services or technologies that don't align with their own opinions and experience are run down and described (not without a small degree of pomposity) as some part of a global conspiracy by the advertising industry to fool everyone into parting with cash for stuff they don't need. Again, you could probably get away with just one or two at most for the nuts and bolts found on bicycles. Their great virtues are: their self-setting on nuts of any size within their self-adjusting range: their ability to act as ratcheting spanners with no need to take the spanner off the nut to get it into position for the next turn.
