I just found and watched the spanner video, it seems to be a very simple but clever idea.

the spanner looks more like a cross of the spanner in the " Super Tool Set"of the lats 60s and a box spanner | ||

I picked up one of the M&S specials about a year ago, one of the diggers, and I was wondering when did Meccano start using hex head bolts?? | ||
| Ralph Laughton |
When it first appeared I thought it was a great idea. what I did not realise at the time was that it seems to be replacing the original spammer in all the sets. We just bought a new Design 5 set and that now has the new spanners - better hang on to some of the old ones as it looks like they will be no more...
Here's what we do to spanners... CLICK HERE Ralph. |

Les,
They have been using hex-head bolts for a while now - we love-'em! But the best improvement was the introduction of hex-grub screws. Ralph. |

I don't think there's going to be any shortage of traditional spanners any time soon. I have more than I know what to do with! |
