Leg levellers adjusting spanner

[strongs]

It's typical, I do have socket sets and spanners but I've lost all the ones that I might need!

I hate adjustable spanners. I'd much rather use the correct sized spanner for the job.

Does it really matter if they are metric or imperial? I thought that was just the way they were measured!? There surely will be a spanner in that set that fits the nuts on leg levellers!?

There will be one that roughly fits no doubt, but it won't fit perfectly - e.g. 5/8" = 15.8750mm, so a 16mm would fit, but would be loose, hence there's a small risk of damaging the nut you are removing or replacing. If you are buying them specifically for this job, then the imperial ones are what you want.

12 quid is the same as a few pints of beer or a couple of bottles of cheap wine. Seriously dude you can't become a pinhead without being able to undo a few nuts here and there.

There's a lot more expensive stuff you can umm and aah about buying but this is the ground floor basics, like a screwdriver or a spare fuse.

@cooldan Who says I'm complaining about price!? Alls I'm trying to do is make sure I make the right purchase.

All sorted now, thanks for all the replies gents.

To clarify is this £11.99 set with coloured handles the hollow shaft version?
