Imperial Spanners?

toab

Bought a 1980's raleigh roadie to practice my maintenance skills on, but none of my spanners fit the nuts. Guessing the newer spanners are metric and the older bike imperial - anyone gots any suggestions where I might get some?

Darth Vader was an Imperial Spanner.

You can try Metrinch spanners. Thet have a design which grips the face of nuts and can be used on similar metic and imperial nuts. eg 3/8 inch is about 9.6mm so the 10mm spanner will fit both. Find them here
