Was looking for a set of nut spinners - say from 5 to 12mm - with deep sockets, and they seem to be no reasonably priced ones around. Want fixed units - not one driver with a set of sockets. It's not something I need of the finest quality, since they won't get abused.

I've not seen nut spinners in decades.

Loads on the RS site. Just search for 'nut spinners'
No - but cost does. ;-)
I can get a set (correct sizes) for about a fiver, but not with deep sockets. Cheapest I can find is many times that.
Use long box spanners? I've made long nut spinners out of them by aralditing a nut into one end and fixing a bit of threaded bar and handle onto it.
I've been carrying the same 3/16 nut spinner in my case for about 30 years and I use it almost daily to re tighten the retaining nuts on D-shell sockets on PCs.
Why do people insist on tightening the retaining screws up with all their might?
