Apols., I forgot to mention:

You have had recommendations to use a soft packing
piece between the nut and jaws of the doing-up thing.
This is *not* on, as the soft thing *will* go through,
then the loading upon the very point of the nut will
be *greatly* increased, and the chrome will be shgged.

I see your point, ut have to disagree - I've had success using an
adjustable spanner with a single layer of insulation tape over the top
(on visible pipe fixings).
