Â*Â*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.
Â*Like this:

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.

What like these:

Yup, an essential part of a plumbing kit, for the odd occasion nothing
else will fit, but not at all comfortable or pleasant to use IME.
