Default Seeking "Split Ring" Compression Fitting Spanner

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember The Natural Philosopher
saying something like:

This is a job for an ordinary or ring spanner and an

ANGLE GRINDER.


Only for a clot.
The wall strength of a cut ring spanner is ****.


Then it was a **** spanner to start with.


How little you know.
