They are nice? How did you find them... Spelling mistake ?

Like the idea of the slot for cable, well thought out simple design.

You would be lucky to get that in most cylinder cupboards. The monument heavy duty one is best. Or normal box spanner and drill handle hole bigger and use larger bar

Best tool for pump nuts is a set of small chains as it puts equal pressure on every face of nut (six points of contact at equal pressure so nut stays round and comes of easy)also better for tighter spaces.
I have a pump spanner ok for installing.
Remember pump nuts are thin so at two points of contact spanner grips etc your clamping the nut onto pump.

If I lost my pump spanner I would not replace it,if I lost my small chains I would.

Guess a chain wrench in Halfords for undoing oil filters would do the job?

£32 for the immersion spanner :whatchutalkingabout

 

[leethegasman]

£32.00 for a immersion spanner is expensive.
We are taking Aboat other tools that can be used.

I will Google last chain wrench I used was 6 foot for large steel pipes.

I still have my full set of chains only up to four feet though,you must have worked on some seriously big pipe work or had small arms.
