Brompton have recently released a puncture repair kit that can be used with their electric and non-electric 16" bikes.


What interests me is the small insert you can put inside a 15mm ring spanner to turn it into a ratchet hex driver.

Any ideas where you might buy that insert separately ?

It seems hardly worth it, when you can get a set of these for £13:

Just buy a normal small rachet,a hex bit set and a 15mm socket. I would just buy a Bacho small rachet set and use it for the house / DIY / bike

I was not looking for alternatives.

Finding small ratchets is easy enough, there are all over eBay and Ali and they are cheap. I already have a couple, including the one in the original Brompton toolkit.

But I like the idea of the ratchet insert for a 15mm spanner and if they were available separately, at reasonable cost, I would get one. But I aint going to pay £75 for a Brompton tool kit to get one.

I didnt quite follow what you were after, whether that was an insert that turns the spanner into a ratchet, or a ratchet or basic spanner that can take an adapter to make it a 1/2" 1/4" 3/8" square drive

So would this be the type of thing you mean
