water pump pliers

[Dean Williams]

A lot of sparks i know use the Bahco ratchet type pipe grips.

Use whatever you wish to TBH, but if you try to present a cable gland that is chewed up through someone using grips to tighten it on a petrochem or offshore job, then I am afraid it will get refused and some poor bugger then has to go to the trouble of changing it out. .

Hence the reason to use proper spanners if at all possible.

Once did get a set of 85mm spanners sent up by the company I was with at the time for some 4c 240mm cables. Bloody spanners weighed a ton.
