I've read several posts on this forum that recommend heating and bending your own set of spanners if you don't want to pay for the Hazet set (and I don't blame anyone for that!).

You may also need to grind the thickness of the spanner down a bit so you can turn the adjusting nuts individually without catching the nut next to it.

I opted to buy a second hand set of wrenches. The full set comes with 3 spanners.
