Alternate adjustable spanners

But never the big hidden money

Top of kitchen cupboards is a good place to find tools if next to boiler, or behind bath panel.

In the middle of loft insulation between joists is easy to lose tools. I tend to search through it in the hope of finding tools left by other plumbers. Usually only find lots of copper offcuts for my scrap.
As you climb down out of attics, it is easy to set a spanner down to get a hold of ladder, or when needing to grip the joist/floor to drop onto steps, so got to check around trap door before you exit.
I tend to set tools in roof gutters when outside at a roof, so have to be careful to look there also.

Someone takes your wrenches and your solution is to get cheaper wrenches? My solution would be bigger wrenches Ya know, so they get the right impression.

Only thing I lost over the years was a Spud wrench only tool I had nicked was when the knacker that broke into my van robbed a Ridgid 14" aluminum stilson left the cheap ones behind my old boss use to spray his tools pink so we wouldn't take them on him , we never did he was always losing them and would blame us

But never the big hidden money

I once changed a cylinder and came across a bag of £20 notes I removed it and put it back (there were definatly 5 figures worth) when I called at the weekend for payment when the old man was back from work as he worked away I mentioned it to him and his only concern was that his missus didn't know about it lol
