Mind you I'd be angry with my life if I had a shit job like plastering, I suppose I should feel sorry for them  |

To be honest, doing what he's doing you'd be faster with a ring spanner or socket and keep your knuckles, another cheap shite gimmick. Not often you can get a ring spanner or socket on a plumbing fitting though arfur. Why is that ian?. |

if ya need a shit, you need a working toilet, if it breaks no one calls the plasterer, they call someone who can fix it, thats why we are kings,  I`ve never seen a king elbow deep in turds trying to fish a tampon out |

I`ve met many plasterers that can plumb but no plumbers that can plaster. Plasterers have to learn plumbing as a matter of course due to plumbers leaving no access to water, toilets disconnected or connected when you have to plaster behind them, etc etc. Anyway, its not a job, it`s a craft. Us talented ones are true artisans. Sounds much more impressive than "pipe fitter" |

I have to say Ian in all honesty, you're the first plasterer I know that can plumb, every plasterer i ever met can drill pipes,cover them,block them, bend them out of the way and kink them and just leave them for us to mend, My mate Derick is a plasterer, as soon as my phone goes off and his name come on, I know he's hit a pipe, One time in his own house, he wanted the 10mm pipes to the rad sinking in the wall, so i did it for him, next day he's on the phone, he's fixing the skirt and nailed the pipe,,,,,  |

With a rich history and even a royal charter. A craft that people will pay a lot of money for just for the sake of beauty. No-one goes to the sistine chapel to admire the radiators or toilets. Plastering is not just board and skim you know.. |

My adjustables will undo that just fine, probably quicker than with a ring spanner and not much slower than a socket on a ratchet only I don't have to carry a socket set about and waste time going to the van to get it because I always have the adjustables handy. I actually have two bahco sockets sets in my van anyway I just rarely need to use them unless I am working on my van or motorbikes. Each tool has their place, I would love to see you take this off with your socket set -  |

Granted I also know more than one that struggle to tie their shoe lace, but I also know plumbers that are incapable of making a watertight connection, one so bad his aunty asked me to fix the leaky bathroom he had left them (and this guy is "gas safe"!) But I still have never seen a plumber plaster anything. |

Well, after extensive field trials I can confirm the adjustable ratchet wrench is worse than fucking useless!!.......What a pile of shite!
Ian, I get 45 minutes to fit a radiator not 45 fucking hours!!!
Us real Plumbers work fast as fuck & bonus or price Work is the order of the day. I need to fit a boiler & 9 radiators in one shift to make my £2K a week, it’s got to be neat & no leaks.
That spanner is deffo not designed for speed & is a complete disaster on anything to do with Plumbing. To get it to ratchet, the nut cant be loose & with anything I used it on I needed to click the ratchet every time. So, I chucked it in the back of the Garage....along with the QVC tools Olive bought me & were likewise fucking useless.
So in conclusion Ian, stick to spreading shit on the walls & leave a skilled Trade to the Artisans, there’s a good fellow👍👍

Perhaps us plasterers are less limp wristed than you plumbers because I use my fingers to start a nut or finish undoing it and the fatmax spanner handles the rest without issue and faster than a normal adjustable and without marring the fitting like grips. Another one that cant work a spanner Top tip - it`s not the spanner in your hand that causes leaks and crap work. It`s the spanner holding it.. |
