Wide Jaw Adjustable spanner

Post by Dickie »

I bought & use this adjustable most days at work & found it a great wee tool for the Plumbing trade.
Cheap & well made its currently on Amazon for just over a fiver, so If your looking to enhance your Plumbing tool kit, fill your boots!!
Sorry I couldn't get a direct link to work.

I ordered mine last night, went for the full size as I rarely need a stubby wrench.

The best price for the wee stubby one I can see is £3.90 again on Amazon.

If you treated yourself to a new spanner, and why not - you deserve it!!
Here's a couple of sizes to mark on the jaws if you're going to use it for compression fittings;
15mm = 23mm spanner
22mm = 32mm spanner
Easy eh 23 & 32........ :wink:

These sizes will fit most cheapo new fittings & with a minor adjustment for others.

I don't think the £3.90 one is wide mouth Dickie.

The wee stubby one is also wide jaw, though it may not say it??!!
It'll comfortably do 15mm fittings(22mm at a push).

And I paid £3.90 inc P+P
