Wheeler dealers Tools

Also, production wise it makes sense. Remember, those are merely "takes".

Ive been working on cars for about 13 years now and I also prefer hand wrenches over a "windy gun" lol i dont know why I just always find myself doing things the old school way. also Wheeler Dealers is my favorite show ever :)

I've noticed that before too, either way Ed is a badass!

Wait... Spanner is the correct word isnt it.

And if the rust has caused the fastener to get a bit tattered and dodgy, hit it with a splash of penetrating fluid and see whats what

Ed China has but one wrench but he wields it fiercely. No nut is too perished.

Im watching Ed China right now on Wheeler Dealers, and as usual he seems to always be turning bolts with a regular combination wrench. I never see this guy using air tools or ratcheting wrenches, or anything that makes a mechanics life easier.

I just saw him reaching up into the engine bay of a lotus with an open end wrench to remove the nuts for the exhaust manifold. C'mon dude get some long extensions and swivel sockets!
Does he use the simplest tools possible to make the home viewer better relate to the jobs hes doing, Or I wonder if he just has some weird condition where he likes to punish himself by spending 3 times as long removing each fastener
