Alternate adjustable spanners

But never the big hidden money 🙂

Top of kitchen cupboards is a good place to find tools if next to boiler, or behind bath panel.

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.

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

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
