They are old tools and I have tried unsuccessfully to find new of same make, if anyone has leads I would be most interested.
Mine are also Imperial sized Sykes Pickervant (I think I have 5 in all) and were bought second hand from Ebay where they do turn up from time to time. They do work in both directions, of course, so you can use them to fit studs as well as removing them. No more nasty scars on your stud shanks from the ravages of a pair of Mole grips. As a result, you can 'cycle' the movement though I will admit, not quite as positively as you might do with a pair of grips...
I am requesting 3 sizes of Imperial ratchet spanners, one each, from my 3 daughters for Christmas...
