I have a shower elbow that requires a fairly large hex key, bit larger than a radiator hex key. I can't can't find anywhere who sells such a thing. Plumb Center, screwfix, tool station, Wickes, B&Q...just don't have anything big enough.

Any ideas?
 
How about 1 of those tapered rad valve keys ..

Or as Chris suggested Halfrauds :lol:
 
Find a hex. head bolt the right size for the bolt head to fit into the socket, and put a couple of locknuts on the threaded end to take a spanner?
