To free drill, beg for costly spanner? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
toll bridge
'costly spanner?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'to free drill beg' is the wordplay.
'free' indicates an anagram.
'drill'+'beg'='drillbeg'
'drillbeg' with letters rearranged gives 'llbridge'.
'to'+'llbridge'='TOLL-BRIDGE'
'for' is the link.
