Rolson 2 in 1 Adjustable Spanner / Pipe Wrench. 250mm Heavy Duty NEW | eBay

Only one serrated jaw as for taking the jaw off and putting it back on well ............ No!

Loads of spanners claiming to be the best thing since sliced bread, but call me old school I'm happy with my Barco's

handle doesn't look very ergonomic

rolson tools are generally terrible, buy a couple of 9031's and look after them and you will have them for life.

Buy what you need not what you want is my motto when it comes to tools. lol

It's dirt cheap, - so not going to be a big risk buying it.
The pipe grip option of reversible single jaw probably makes it a compromise of a pipe grip tool.
Bahco adjustables, plus good pump pliers, plus Footprint brand grips are all you need for most jobs.

waste of money, cheap tools always are, back of my garage will vouch for that, no longer adding to the pile now 🙂

Totally agree with lame ..cheap tools are dangerous tools..brum

If I may hijack this thread a moment...

Anyone got/rate the rothy grips that have a lock stop on them? I've always used the normal ones but can get annoying when they keep slipping out if the selected setting, particularly once a bit old and worn.

Get yourself some channellock grips, you will never use rothenberger ones again.

They said that about the knipex grips but I always go to use the rothenbergers. I've relegated my pair of cobra grips to the garage as they don't get used. Those Chanellock look the similar as cobras??
Mind you, they must be good if they're made by chanel. I do like their aftershave and aromatic bath salts
