Question on plumbing spanner

[Stigster]

TBH anything flat face I use them on I try not to use grips on things as it marks the faces up only time I will use them is on nipples etc

Yes, I'm always telling the lads if it has spanner flats, use a spanner. The amount of times I see them marring and butchering fittings on the flats with grips and stilsons

will do. right arm not as strong as it used to be

For gripping the body of a T compression fitting, what about an appropriately sized and correctly adjusted set of mole grips?

As above you still have the teeth to deal with that'll mark up the body of whatever you're gripping.

I silver soldered some thick copper strip (3mm) onto the jaws of some pump pliers. Like a copper faced mallet it's mark free everytime no matter how hard you grip.
