Re: Fixed basin wrench vs adjustables
I've started to use full bore flexi's, 13mm instead of 10mm beacause I've been having problems with reduced flow with gravity.
I bought two 'Bear-Hug' wrenches from BES 1/2 and 3/4 and they do a better job then any other wrench in my opinion. I also have a box spanner for when the pipe is off but the 1/2 brass nuts come in two different sizes on the hex for some reason. I ditch the plastic in favour of brass because the plastic strip before the tap is tight, we've all been called out to tighten a loose plastic tap nut haven't we? |

Re: Fixed basin wrench vs adjustables
Too right about the 'Bearhug' wrenches. I've got a set in a plastic box, including ratchet driver and two extensions -- not too pricey. Always in the van now!
But it's still well worth carrying several alternatives, for the odd awkward job where nothing seems to fit! |
