BTW, could you let me know what the spanner is like when it arrives?




I have that spanner. It's bloody good when it fits. It seems to fit
"ordinary" compression joints (whatever that means) but not some types or
Peglar valve.

I would say it's worth having because it's very nice when you can use it.

I wonder if I should have ordered 2? I can imagine an inline compression
fitting, or isolation valve being a particular headache if you can't grip
both ends.

....but actually I have a very thin jawed welding clamp (uses mole grip
technology) with which I can improvise.
