1.5mm between the smallest and largest here. All new. The threads

If space is tight, you need a good spanner fit. And I hate
adjustables.

The big forged "wrap around" compression spanners seem to work on all
the variations, but yup there is a fair amount of variation for a a
"standard" nut!

Marvellous things when there's space to use them.

Yup... I also keep a couple of those horrid flat pressed steel spanners
in the toolbox for the cases where there is no space.

I'm gradually acquiring a set of ground down open jaw conventional
spanners.

If the question was "do plumbers carry a set of thin spanners"? The
answer is no, they just use more plumbers mait:-(
