this is the one ive got Multi Purpose Plumbing Key | Plumbing and Heating Servicing Tools , that will fit all types of valves , tank connectors, holds basin wates in place etc

I had one of those, I snapped it trying to get a stiff rad tail out.

They're cheap and handy to have but theyre only made out of a cheap alloy and the grooved parts on them break or get rung out of shape. Get the ratchety thing!

 

[Rckape]

I'd add my voice to those endorsing the ratchety thing - top tool!

As for the olive cutters, go for the ones that pinch both sides of the olive with two handles, don't bother with the ones that screw in to cut the olive. It's an expensive tool, but I find myself using it pretty often and well worth the money.

I love tools :jester:

Anyone know if you can get the rad key attachment for the rothenberger socket rachet as a spare? Lost mine but don't want to shell out for a new handle as well.
