    Why do plumbers use an adjustable & never a proper spanner?

    If there's enough room to work with, I do the same. Less faffing!

    On older plumbing the sizes are not metric,why keep going back to the van for a different spanner when an adjustable will fit? also when you are lying on your back under the sink or bath the adjustable will get the job done.:rotfl:
