My father had his first adjustable spanner confiscated by his mentor during his apprenticeship.

The bloke said "every nut has a correctly sized spanner, learn them all by sight" and took it.

Dad tells this story quite often! I don't think dad was impressed. Had to buy a full set of imperial spanners which took him months. Fat lot of good they are these days!!
 
Doesn't surprise me best.
I gave up using the bahco's on tap heads.
Just have a ring spanner in the bag now.
