Evening peeps,

Quick question, bahco spanner’s keep getting nicked so I’m sick and tired keep dishing out for bahcos, looking for another alternate anyone uses ox or teng adjustables ?

Cheers
 
Yes. Does the job in tight spaces like the bahcos 1's. haven't had a problem with them. I have the 6" and 8" been using for a year or so now.
 
Plumb center do their own , assuming they still do .
Slightly thinner and ok quality.
 
Knipex parallel jaws adjustable is very good, so another one to look at, but probably an extra as a more specialist tool.
Surely if you keep getting your tools nicked, then you will also get any replacements nicked? Especially good quality stuff.

Someone nicked my adjustable knipex too which I got as a gift too £70 worth... it was not even a big site but a private refurbishment.
Thieves need to be punished
 
You must be doing something wrong if you keep getting your tools nicked all the time, Iv done all kinds of jobs over the years on sites, private, homes never had anything taken. Maybe your carrying to much around with you

even in schools nothing gone walking of mine but plenty of times ive left and found a pipe slice in the roof voids :D
 
In the middle of loft insulation between joists is easy to lose tools. I tend to search through it in the hope of finding tools left by other plumbers. Usually only find lots of copper offcuts for my scrap. :)
As you climb down out of attics, it is easy to set a spanner down to get a hold of ladder, or when needing to grip the joist/floor to drop onto steps, so got to check around trap door before you exit.
I tend to set tools in roof gutters when outside at a roof, so have to be careful to look there also.
 
Just picked up a rothenburger wide jaw
Seems decent
 
Someone takes your wrenches and your solution is to get cheaper wrenches? My solution would be bigger wrenches ;) Ya know, so they get the right impression.
 
Only thing I lost over the years was a Spud wrench only tool I had nicked was when the knacker that broke into my van robbed a Ridgid 14" aluminum stilson left the cheap ones behind my old boss use to spray his tools pink so we wouldn't take them on him , we never did he was always losing them and would blame us
 
But never the big hidden money :)
I once changed a cylinder and came across a bag of £20 notes I removed it and put it back (there were definatly 5 figures worth) when I called at the weekend for payment when the old man was back from work as he worked away I mentioned it to him and his only concern was that his missus didn't know about it lol
