Until someone who knows for sure comes along -
Do you mean like the 'nut' which fixes the discs to angle grinders, but smaller?
Right angled circlip pliers?
Can we have a picture?

I assume it's the 'plastic spanner' shown in this installation manual you are after? If so I'm sure F&L will send you one if you phone them. Don't use a metal tool as you can easily mark the finish.
Use the tips of a pair of needle-nose pliers, if you don't have circlip pliers.

Thanks Echo. The PDF looks like the switch. I will phone them tomorrow.
If there like the ones on dimmers you can sometimes turn them by hand
Nah, too tight. Tried that.
Had to take some of these off for the job I’m on at the minute - luckily they were being binned so I just went at them with standard pliers. If you’re worried about marring the faceplate, you could cover it with masking tape. I removed them with no damage so with masking tape you should be fine
I emailed the company ( http://www.forbesandlomax.com ) and they kindly sent me a jiffy bag full of the plastic "keys"- first class and no cost.
My client wants to replace a couple of standard switches in some other rooms, they were so happy with the aftersales service that they will be buying some more of the "INVISIBLE" light switches (I have no idea why they are called invisible though).
Because you can wallpaper over all but the toggle switch and then fit a clear faceplate over the top - see the splash image on their website.
When did "invisible" come to be synonymous with "just as much as normal visible but some of it transparent and perfectly visible under almost all lighting conditions"?
Do the Oxford Dictionary lexicographers know about this?
The ASA?
I've got a better solution for getting invisible accessories. And at the same time invisible electric lighting. Don't use electricity in your house, then you can have a perfectly authentic recreation of the times when there was no electricity to use in your house.
Perfick.

I did notice that after I posted, thanks though.
