*I've just watched the latest Skillbuilder video where Bisby uses a
split ring spanner for compression joints, looks a lot easier than a
Stilson.

Yup, I have a couple of those and they are good. Only thing is none of
the folks I am getting presents for are into plumbing.

Although perhaps that is just down to their lack of spanners ;-)


My recent plumbing experiences point towards a need for robust but thin
open ended spanners.
