I need a spanner like this:

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.

Thanks,

To many people it seems rather perverse but I love plumbing.

Work in progress as of yesterday afternoon is he

Unfortunately fannying about with heating systems in frosty weather is
potentially very disruptive and unpopular with the family.....hence the
Hep20 lashup to keep the house warm.

Next stage is to remove all the old controls and plumbing (the white bits)
reroute the boiler connections, slide in and connect the thermal store.
The primary circuit will ultimately be about 600 litres capacity.....and I
really do not want to have to drain it down in the worst case scenario to
fix a leak, so I need to take my time.

If I had one of these spanners I could potentially have finished
today....but will have to defer a week because I have a "proper" job to go
to tomorrow. Ho hum.

It looks fine is is very neat.Well done

Can I ask why you dislike soldered joints? I prefer them over a compression
joint anyday.
