Problem is I would like it this weekend!

Can anybody tell me if any of the "sheds" sell them, please?

Don't know, but they look really useful - I'm going to order one!

For the record I am in the process of implementing a major domestic
heating upgrade (thermal store) and have used lots of those nice
interlocking pipe clips that allow you to run parallel pipes very
close to one another.
Problem is that this clipping technology looks great but makes any
compression joint utterly inaccessible. Example he

Hence the need for one of these funky spanners. Today's leak was
entirely due to incompetence on my part but now I want to check
every nut before "going live".


Nice job that.

Are all those bends in the corner actual bends or elbows?
