Adjustable spanner

[BN9Pete]

Climbing over stone walls and fences to get to a frozen oil line. Even went back once the snow had cleared but not there. I was devastated. Hadn't felt like that since leeds got relegated to the championship 🙁

I would be gutted to, about the spanner not ' dirty' Leeds !! :grin:

Bahcos all day long, had mine for ages and I wouldn't buy a different make if I lost mine tomorrow.

Same for me. Others are probably just as good but couldn't see myself changing

Bahco for me. You can get some good deals on line.

Poor worker blames their tools

Only when the tools are of a lesser standard then the person using them!!!

Hey,

Been reading though this thread, and the general consensus seems to go towards Bachos, and I'm inclined to get this as well. I'm just starting as an apprentice plumber, and I've been using the quality tools they have at my workplace, but thought it would be a good time to get upgrade my own inherited tools (from my uncles garage). As a general, I would want to get something decent, but at the same time I'm not with unlimited budget and there's a quite a few things that I want to pick up.

Do you recon I should just go for Bachos now (since it has good reviews) and just hold of on say a good pair of water pump pliers? (since it's less likely I will use at home at the moment).

Other way round sanji
I use my wp pliers a hell of a lot more than any adjustable.

The modern bachos arent all that hood anyway. Best off trying to find the old ones on a car boot.

Knipex cobras for the wp pliers 😀

Im happy to spend a small fortune on bahcos as I know i will not have to again for many many years. I have 6", 8" and 10" and im confident they will still be working fine in 20 years. providing they havn't been lost or stolen.
