Attachment Deleted.my 8" bachos have slipped and locked on the nut once too often! Done some research and these knipex half grips half ajustable are supposed to be the dogs bollocks! In the picture is a 28 mm tank connecter, it locks on tight and can move around nut with out removing it from fitting. The jaws open and close with a button. Will do a review when I've put em through their paces

Look forward to that EF.
Highly rated by most plumbers, yet I'm not keen on any mechanisum on my grips.
I just like the simple center pin method and a no frills action grip (the nothing to fiddle with aproach)!

The weird things is c/f, when there in your hands they feel like grips, but when the jaws are on a nut it feels like ajustables. 👍 |

I use the a smaller set fairly regularly, I also have a set of these, but I rarely use them. I find the overall size of the jaws a bit big to get into places.

I couldn't decide on the 180mm or 250mm, if I get on with these I might invest in the 180mm, dick👍👍👍👍

Attachment Deleted.got to say these kinipex are very good, use my footies for gripping stuff and the kinipex for tightening up stuff. The scaffolding spanner is very good too for removing tap valves👍👍 the only negative thing is the price of these kinipex spanner! I bought mine out of scrap money,so I tell myself work paid for them😁😁😁

It's a bitter blow indeed when you realise you've left an expensive tool somewhere.
Not many customers will ring up to tell you either in my experience.

Many customers are programmed to believe that plumbers are all ripping them off. If they can keep a left tool, they poss see it as a way of evening things up.
