    Tap wrench

    Just wondering if it's worth spending the £45-£50 on some jaw droppers. I just don't seem to be able to get the back nuts up tight enough with my normal basin spanner. Does anyone here use them and are they better. They get good reviews on screwfix.

    Best Adjustable Spanner

    Currently using the 6" Amtech Adjustables, they open to 1 and half inches but are not good at holding their width and are a little chunky. Anyone recommend a pukka pair?
