Anjow Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 I'm after a particularly thin spanner - not adjustable, I'm after 17mm. The thing is all the normal ones I see in B&Q etc. are too thick; I'm looking for one with a really thin profile, of less than 3mm. Not a ring spanner.Does such a spanner exist? Anyone know where I can get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anjow Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) It's actually for the retaining nut for my cones - it didn't occur to me that a cone spanner would come in that size, but yes - that sounds ideal. Thanks.I'll check the other places too.Edit: the snapon ones seem to be too thick, at ~7mm. Edited May 11, 2007 by Anjow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Normally I would agree with buying expensive tools, but with cones it doesn't make much difference at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
