Grow Like a Pro: 7 Top Tools Every Plumber Should Own

1.Best Adjustable Spanners for Plumbers

A reliable adjustable spanner is essential for any plumber. For plumbing work, wide-jaw models are a must—standard ones aren’t sufficient.

Top 3 Brands

1. Bahco (German) – Durable, high-quality, and widely trusted.
2. Monument (British) – Slightly shorter handles and wider jaws than Bahco, offering better maneuverability. My personal favorite.
3. Channellock (American) – The WideAzz model features a thicker, rounded handle for extra comfort when applying force.

Recommended Sizes

• 200mm (8") – Ideal for most domestic jobs (38mm jaw capacity).
• 150mm (6") – Compact and perfect for quick access (34mm jaw).
• 250mm (10") – Best for stubborn fittings or large gas meter unions (50mm jaw).

Top Picks on Amazon

• Channellock WideAzz 200mm (Best grip)
• Monument 150mm Wide Jaw (Most portable)
• Monument 250mm Wide Jaw (Heavy-duty)
