Got one of these with an order from Williams.
It fits 15 & 22 compression nuts.
Like it a lot.:party: image.jpg
Not cheap, but well made.
 
I really need to get myself a couple of decent sets of rigid spanners, pull my hair out sometimes under boilers
 
I like them spanners, might treat myself !!! Had to buy a stubby Bahco with wide 36mm jaws the other week due to having no room under a boiler, cost of £28..!!!
 
I bought 1 a couple of years ago,but i keep forgetting to use it.I don"t keep it in my servicing bag as its a bit big.
 
I had a corker of a spanner one end 15 the other 22 (1/2-3/4) fitted all compression nuts was told by more than a couple of customers that it was a tank spanner.IE was part of a tanks toolkit in ww2 not a cold water tank but a AFV I had that spanner for years but left it under some floorboard if you ever come across one of these at a carboot please send him home..brum

Heavy Duty Fitting Spanner 15 & 22mm | Monument 2069R
 
From a guy who owns both, the monument one is much better. Although this is decent for REALLY tight spots.

I bought the small one a while back, I was so impressed with it I ended up buying all the other sizes too, ended up spending well over £200 on spanners.

The only thing I don't like about them is the little bit that sticks out, if your tightening say a rad valve, it might get stuck on the corner of the rad.

I keep talking myself out of buying them all. I started with the small as well and bought a couple off the larger sizes later.
Something tells me I won't resist for long though.
