Good price. Wonder if they're really Draper? Think my Draper sockets have it written on them, IIRC.

Well I bent my viscous fan spanner today after my pulley holder finally turned up so it looks like I am buying one of those draper spanners if my neighbors father doesn't have one I can borrow. Might still get one as I like having tools as its better than paying a garage

I used to have an open ended spanner with a forged striking pad for removing V/fans. I lent it to someone who decided it was happier living with him, the turd. I got a sign for the garage that read " The guy who lends tools isn't in till tomorrow".

I'll save my breath then, bugger.
Not on the same basis you wanted to borrow his you rum bugger. Come to think about it it may only be 150 AMP so no good to you.

He never eats the tins just the cake.

I have undone lots of viscous fans. I used to look after a fleet of Transit vans, the old smiley face ones that had a timing belt, the hammer and chisel worked every time and never damaged the fan, hub or nut. You just need to position it on the edge of the nut and give it a very sharp and hard strike. I promise it will come undone. I fitted a new viscous hub to my Rangie and it had done around 140,000 at the time and had spent a big chunk of it life on the Shetland isle before I had it so it was never far from the salty sea air. One sharp strike with a cold chisel and it was undone. Do not wedge the chisel in it needs to be the same width or just a few mm smaller than the depth of the nut as it needs to be a nice even blow across the depth of the nut. I hope that makes sense.

a flat headed large drift and hitting the center of each flat in turn will loosen it if done enough times ,without damage

Yeh, it's not good having one to fill the size of a bill posters bucket.
