Not that exact model but I have several Bahco spanners and they're all
well made. At the risk of being sill why not measure across the flats of
a nut? That will tell you if the range of adjustment is sufficient.


28mm compression nuts are all different sizes depending on maker, that
is why I asked if anyone is actually using one of these in pipe
fitting. Will it fit all nuts?

Bahco tools are a quality make and nice to use. I think they are cheap
for what they are.

Anone use the Magnussun tools? I saw these in B&Q and they look
quality products. The quick adjustable, adjustable spanner looks good
and easy to engage and disengage using a quick slide mechanism rather
than a jamming knurled nut. I hate jamming adjustable spanners. Well
thought out easy to use tools like that I like.
