What Adjustable Spanners?

[Screwed]

Hi All,

Have recently passed my C&G Level 2 and am shortly to start on my gas. I'm currently out doing small jobs at the weekends until I finish work and start learning the plumbing ropes full time.

I'm starting to build up my tool kit and at the moment only have some cheap adjustable spanners which are a nightmare when I'm upside down under a sink. Am just wondering what ones everyone uses? Seen a set of Rothenbergers that come with covers to go over the jaws for when using chrome.

Cheers

Mike

Good price - just check the maximum jaw opening width

Get bahco with these type of handles, they are very good nice head profile and open very wide

Rubber handled bahco.

Also, when you're feeling flush, get a couple of flat jawed knipex pliers.

Monument do fixed jaws 15mm and 22mm spanners. Available from toolstation.

Is that the plier wrench? It's my birthday next week - could get expensive for the wife......!
