Roebuck Showcase products

To highlight the outstanding quality of Roebuck products we have introduced
this range of ‘Showcase’ products. These products provide a representative
sample of the Roebuck range and demonstrate clearly that Roebuck products
are designed and engineered to the same standards as more expensive
branded alternatives.

Foremost amongst these is the Roebuck ‘UniWrench’ (see page 4).

With a worldwide patent the UniWrench metric and A/F
combination spanner sets are available exclusively from Roebuck
and represent one of our ‘Flagship’ products. These are Roebuck products with
genuinely unique features and benefits not available from any other
manufacturer. Look out for the ‘Flagship’ logo shown next to these products.

Full details of all the Roebuck Showcase products and their outstanding
features and benefits are contained within this brochure.
