It doesn't say on the website and you can't tell from the image - and I'm on the verge of hitting the "Buy" button...

Thanks

3 i think, but they are double ended so six different sizes

You got one INSTORE for £99.99 - when it's an Online only special???

They were marked up at 149.99 in my local store, and weren't moving from it - and said they couldn't match the web deals!

Anyway - I ordered one online last night for £99.99, and then I also ordered a full set of 12 combination ratchet spanners as well, as all the combination ones in the set are standard spanners and not ratchet.

Lovely...
