Related but something else they do, a "pass through socket set" think originated in studwork etc

I've got another make (but no longer sold) it allows you to reach down longer bolts etc by being hollow in it's layout. Mine makes an exceptionally good plug spanner for any sized spark plugs generally available, and particularly good on those two centre plugs of these engine. You'd need to check for clearance with this bahco but it looks all but identical to my old make in dimensions.
As noted, not strictly needed, but very useful set to get into some awkward stuff both bike and car.

Vessel megadora can’t be beaten in my opinion. They are simply awesome.

Got to say I disagree with that to some extent James. I'm not saying they aren't very good, I have 2 sets but one of the things I like about my Snap On screwdrivers was the ability to use a spanner to aid in twisting, if the Vessel Megadora had that little feature I'd 100% agree with you, odd they added it to the flat blade but not the JIS screwdrivers. Unfortunately the Snap On whilst having that nice little touch didn't do JIS screwdrivers when I was in the trade.
My Snap On screwdrivers are now over 40 odd years old and are still going great, I have one with a broken point, crosshead Number 2 but other than that they are still as good as new.

Fair comment Ken. I thought the Snapon screwdrivers were an order of magnitude more expensive (I could be wrong, I’m no professional).
My vessel Pozidrive set of screwdrivers have the Hex feature as well - 15 years of use and going strong, albeit I’m a part-timer.

Makes you wonder why Vessel decided not to include the feature on the JIS screwdrivers, I've found it very useful over the years, especially if the grips are all oily. I'd always thread the ring part on though, unlike the pic.
Yeah, Snap On were mega expensive, good warranty though, I've had a few blades replaced over the years.
