Good postMostly it is the DIN sizes you will see so most comon are:
M4 = 7mm
M5 = 8mm
M6 = 10mm
M8 = 13mm
M10 = 17mm
M12 = 19mm
M16 = 24mm
For the smaller sizes a 'nut runner' (screwdriver with hex socket) is often most useful thing, less chance of socket coming off as you would see with 1/4" drive set, etc. For an electrician I doubt you will see much over 19mm.
But, there is a whole lot of other sizes in use, so your M10 bolt might just have 16mm or 15mm size!
Also you will occasionally see UNF/UNC sizes and some metric spanners are often close enough, for example:
7/16" ~ 11mm
1/2" ~ 13mm
5/8" ~ 16mm
3/4" practically identical to 19mm.
But if you really want to impress the ladies you need these:

can't see me needing anything over 19mm though. might just buy one every 2 weeks or so, work is almost non-existent at present.

Amazon had the full pack cheaper than the ones in my link, they may well still have them.
I was wrong - They are the same price.
8 to 19 mm £34 inc postage . Amazon.can't see me needing anything over 19mm though. might just buy one every 2 weeks or so, work is almost non-existent at present.
Had these for years 0BA to 10BA. Got a ring spanner set somewhere.
There's a good argument for different sizes - that way you don't need two spanners the same size. You'd moan if you needed 2off (say) 45mm. But those sizes don't sound like like common spanner sizes.... I happen to have a 32mm gland with an earthing nut on it, Sizes are:
45mm
43mm
46mm
WTF! Why can't they make them all the same A/F size?

... or it coukd just be a matter of DGAS on the part of the manufacturer.
As an aside, the last U-bolts I bought for putting an aerial up turned out to be Whitworth threads.
you think that's old? i got a Moore@wright set calipers, inherited from my dad. stamped with the WD arrow, 1944. dad brought them home when he was demobbed, along with a webley revolver, ammo, and a few grenades.
