Err...I'm guessing you don't have a TS near you then ?

Motor Factors or Car Accessory shops/Halfords might have open ended
Spanners/Ring Keys in those sizes which is more likely what they will
know them as .Problem might be in getting one with the two sizes on
the one spanner .

This is a job for an ordinary or ring spanner and an

ANGLE GRINDER.

Spoken like a true pro :-)
Looks like the angle grinder has survived into 2010 then. That is the
second called for use of it in DIY :-)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember The Natural Philosopher
saying something like:

ANGLE GRINDER.

Only for a clot.
The wall strength of a cut ring spanner is ****.

Then it was a **** spanner to start with.

I'd agree with you: I've a ring spanner for 1/2" tail nuts that was made by
cutting out a 16mm piece (sorry - not with an AG), sawing off the cut ring
and welding it back on 90 deg. for getting under sinks etc.

It's had a fair bit of force on it at times and is still in perfect
condition.

Beware. They only fit a certain selection of nuts. They don't fit 15mm nuts
on Peglar full bore valves - those nuts are bigger.

For other jobs, I use a pair of slimline high quality adjustable spanners.

For the record I am in the process of implementing a major domestic heating
upgrade (thermal store) and have used lots of those nice interlocking pipe
clips that allow you to run parallel pipes very close to one another.

Problem is that this clipping technology looks great but makes any
compression joint utterly inaccessible. Example he
http://home.btconnect.com/vortex/access.jpg

Hence the need for one of these funky spanners. Today's leak was entirely
due to incompetence on my part but now I want to check every nut before
"going live".

Seconded - nothing like a bit of neatly done copper.

If you are anywhere near Robertsbridge, East Sussex, you're welcome to
borrow mine (seriously, email addy valid).

But no, I haven't seen them in B&Q or Homobase or Wickes.

Thanks for the kind offer.

Try an automotive tool shop ... that looks just like the spanner used
for loosening the flange nuts on hydraulic brake lines. It's got 6
flat faces instead of the usual serrated appearance so it doesn't
round the nut.
