Another Nerrad VB Wrench video

[Mickyplumb]

Mike Jackson the "fastest spanners in the west!", joking aside ive had my Knipex pliers wrench for about 5-6 years now and only really use the 12" one for pump nuts now, i just prefer to have a single handle in my hand so tend to use a 24/26m open ended spanner for 15mm fittings and a 30/32mm spanner for 22mm and 3/4 fittings although you can bet the day you leave your adjustables in the van is the day the lifts dont work in the high rise flats.

Adam, I think the fact that you 'reserve' your plier wrenches for pump nuts answers it all. Let's be honest, they are normally the most seized nuts we ever come across in our pllumbing day. Also, they don't distort and clamp the nuts down onto the pump thread like stilsons/footprints/pump pliers.

Without sounding silly, you know your tools Adam.

Like wise Micky, by the way what camera do use for your you tube videos? the picture quality seems really crisp and clear all my photos seem grainy and vivid in comparison.

Thanks Adam. All I use is an iPhone 4.

Another issue with these tools is longevity. The spanners that I use for compression nuts are over 60 years old. My father got given them when he started as an apprentice with the GPO. My 18" Bahco is a good 15 years old. I've yet to have a pair of slip joint pliers last more than 4 or 5 years.
