i will be using them for plumbing, undoing nuts on service valves doing up compression fittings that kinda stuff

Bahco do adjustable spanners with an extra wide opening jaw....well handy for plumbing items. They're slim too.
Got my pair from Screwfix, I think.

not cheap but they are the best.

I got mine from Wilkos for about £2.50.

It adjusts, it tightens and loosens nuts and has done for years

It's not got a name, but I doubt anyone can quantify how theirs is "better"

i bought a set of those ariston super wrenches,which are for sale somewhere on the shopping channels,i bought them at a boot fair for £7 the set.the plumber at work allways finds a way of borrowing them.

Lidl's £1.50

Also have an old Roebuck which is slightly better quality.

What you really need is a good set of spanners, maybe you should ask who makes the best spanners.

As a professional tradesman who takes pride in my work I wouldn't use cheap & nasty tools from lidl and the pound shop but each to their own.

Quality costs money and you get what you pay for imo.

Somebody pinched my King Dick a while back. Best tool I ever held.
