Milli-grip adjustable spanners
I always believed that adjustable spanners had no place in the workshop, they were only for pipe fitters and plumbers.
Have bought Milli-grip adjustables and I have changed my mind. they are brilliant.
Beautifully quality and precise in use.

Having looked at that I see that it is in fact a 'metric' adjustable . No more sending the apprentice to look for the metric adjustable
spanner and a tin of elbow grease then

I'm quite sure that I'd break it, I do most tools.
Got Bahco 8", 10" and 12", Irega 15" and 18", and a Facom 4" and 18", non of those slip. Buy cheap=get
cheap.
And don't trust Britool ratchets!
