Every cheap spanner set i have seen does not include spanners over 19mm. Been looking for ages willing to spend up to $100 on a full set of spanners that include larger spanners. I would also consider Non "full" sets that don't include the smaller spanners but don't want to spend over $30. I don't care about brand or quality just need the spanners and can't afford to pay hundreds.
CHEAP Spanner Set with Large Spanners?

Yeah but expensive way to get all of them. Much better to find a deal on a set?
One thing to consider:
BME common tightening torques:M10 wrench 15,16,17 80Nm [59Ft-Lbs]
M12 wrench 18,19 140 [103]
M14 wrench 21,22,23 220 [162]There may be a good reason cheap wrenches only go to 19mm :-p I had a friend who used to buy a Sidchrome T-Bar to remove his Kombi rear axle nut - and swap it out under the lifetime guarantee afterward ……
For anything over 19mm I'd seriously consider buying single as and when needed - and go for Sidchrome/Fuller/Crescent or the like. I'm assuming you're Oz, so maybe check out your local Lions Shed or Scout sales - I'd rather have a rusty looking Fuller that wasn't going to spread/burst than a nice shiny Yum-Cha with my knuckles on the line.
One cheap brand I do remember being Ok tho - Gedore, which was an Indian brand. The
bar' part of the spanners look a bit suss, as the surface wasn't smooth but uneven with acasting' look, but the chrome was locked on tight, was clearly ` old school' [ steel —>> nickel —-> chrome] and they stood up to a lot of brutal treatment.
re: "Gedore, which was an Indian brand."
Gedore Tools is one of the largest tool companies in Germany. GEDORE is a letter combination of (GEbrueder DOwidat REmscheid). Gedore was founded by 3 brothers (gebrueder) named Dowidat from Remscheid Germany. Samstag Sales is an authorized distributor of GEDORE German Tools made by the Dowidat family.
So that's why, as you stated … "they stood up to a lot of brutal treatment."
Many thanks for the help, i'm leaning toward the ebay listing cheers martismo. I understand about the quality issue with larger spanners but i rarely use them so its just not justified and i'm willing to take the risk.
